Indio celebrates reopening of iconic Burger Box

INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) - The city of Indio celebrated the return of the iconic Burger Box with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday.

Burger Box is located at 81201 Indio Boulevard.

The restaurant closed its doors after 70 years in business late last year.

“When you lose a staple in the valley it kind of sucks because you shouldn’t fix something that is not broken,” said Amber Hepler, a customer, told News Channel 3 in October.

It is now under the ownership of Yolanda Ruiz and her family. Yolanda worked at Burger Box for 24 years.

“Burger Box has long been more than a restaurant as it quickly became a landmark for locals and travelers alike,” said Mayor Glenn Miller. “We are thrilled to have Burger Box reopen in Indio, especially under the leadership of someone as committed to the community as Yolanda Ruiz.”
