The flames traveled through the building's heating and cooling system before first responders put out the fire that ultimately destroyed the building.
Last January, the cheesesteak joint put out blueprints for their new building following the devastating fire in a post stating that the business will be back in 2023.
Unfortunately for Jim’s Steaks lovers, that was not the case.
