Restaurant Opening in Fair Oaks at the Site of a Former Mortuary
FAIR OAKS (CBS13) - A new restaurant is being planned for the site of the former Russ Monroe's Cremation and Burial Services in Fair Oaks.
"Shangri-la Fair Oaks" plans to open in October and will serve comfort food and some tongue-in-cheek items, such as a drink called the Corpse Reviver No. 2. An estimated 30-40 people will be hired to work at the restaurant.
Demolition and construction started this week at the Winding Way location.
Once completed, Shangri-la Fair Oaks will also have a children's play area and fire pits.
Russ Monroe's Cremation and Burial Services recently relocated to Fair Oaks Boulevard.
The Sacramento Business Journal first reported the news on Monday.
