Project description: Red’s Giant Hamburg is returning 35 years after the iconic Springfield restaurant closed. Dock Brothers Construction began general contracting work in January for the eatery by business partners David Campbell and Greg Iott. It’s going up adjacent to Furniture Factory Outlet in west Springfield. The original Red’s Giant Hamburg gained fame operating on Route 66 and for its status as the first restaurant with a drive-up window. Operated by Red and Julia Chaney, Red attempted to build his own sign but incorrectly measured the proportions, resulting in “Hamburg” rather than “Hamburger” in the name.
Under the weight of rising health care costs, an increasing number of people are surging to the Health Insurance Marketplace rather than opting for employer-sponsored plans.
