Cheung Sing building soon to be no more; Future looks bright for property

Mick Roberts and Steve Saunders, owners of the property at 1098 West Broadway Ave. that was most recently home to the Cheung Sing Chinese restaurant, oversaw the destruction of the building on that property on the morning of Aug. 24.
The building in question was the home of a Country Kitchen restaurant that opened in 1975. That business lasted 10 years and Cheung Sing moved in in 1985. That restaurant closed last year. Currently there are two separate plats on that property. The plat next to the one with the building has a flat concrete slab that will be removed. Roberts and Saunders have plans to combine the two plats to make one large plat.broadstreet.zone(48036);
