A restaurant that has become a bit of a destination in tiny Garden Plain is making its way into Wichita soon. Halagains is owned by California transplants Shad and Stephanie Biggs and is known for its sandwiches, burgers and pizza. The couple has just purchased the old Champ’s building at 1106 S. Seneca and will soon open a second Halagains there. Though the Wichita restaurant won’t serve pizza it will have Halagains’ famous tri-tip sandwich, topped with roasted onions and peppers, provolone cheese, bacon, mustard and jalapenos. The Wichita Halagains should be open in the coming weeks.
Another out-of-town favorite also is about to get a Wichita presence. Pizza Shuttle is a Lawrence-based chain that specializes in delivering inexpensive pizza to college students. It also has a restaurant in Manhattan that caters to K-State, and soon, WSU students will get the experience. The owners of Social Tap are bringing Pizza Shuttle to Braeburn Square on WSU’s Innovation Campus near 21st and Oliver. It’s taking over the space next to Jersey Mike’s that was previously home to an electric bike store. Wichita’s Pizza Shuttle will have room for a few diners indoors and will also have a big patio in back. It will use third-party delivery services to start but will eventually add its own delivery operation. Opening day is planned for the end of January…
