Starke County residents should keep their eyes peeled for the opening of a new restaurant in a familiar location.
The drive-in restaurant at 45 S Main Street in North Judson has been sitting vacant for about two seasons. Pop’s Pit Stop at the Point will be replacing Birky Farm’s Piggies and Cream in the near future.
Currently the new buyers are working to finalize the deal with the local realtors of Osborne Advantage Real Estate and luxury vacation rentals in Southern California. Donna Osborne said she expects the deal to be closed within the next 7 to 10 days.

She shared a few things about the new place, explaining that rather than only being open seasonally, the buyers proposed keeping it open year-round. She added that they have expressed interest in doing promotional give-aways at local games and bringing back the car shows to the place. They are also currently in the process of locating and re-installing the original signature ice-cream cone statue that previously stood at the corner.
Osborne noted that the new owners indicated that they plan to include classic items such as burger and fries on their menu but will also add some things such as Italian beef sandwiches. They have plans to bring back soft serve and install a pizza oven. The possibility of doing deliveries within a certain radius is also being considered.
Osborne mentioned that the new buyers have been very proactive and there’s a chance that Pop’s Pit Stop at the Point could be open by Christmas. She said at the very latest, the establishment will open in early 2018.
