Many more Wichita restaurants are returning this week, others tease plans to reopen soon
The state-wide stay-at-home order will persist for at least another two weeks and some change.
But Wichita restaurants that closed down when coronavirus fears first started in March continue to stage their comebacks, even if it’s just for to-go. Several favorites, including Sabor and College Hill Deli, reopened their doors last week. Many more will return this week, and several others are hinting imminent returns.
Here’s the new batch:
