Fort Wayne BBQers Shigs in Pit plan to open a third location, this one on the city’s southwest side along Illinois Road.

Mad Anthony Brewing Company President Blaine Stuckey has filed a petition with the Allen County Plan Commission to rezone nearly 3 acres of land at 8506 Illinois Road from Agricultural-Residential to Commercial. The application calls for a restaurant and professional office at the site.

According to plans, Shigs in Pit would share a lot with Indiana Physical Therapy. The restaurant plans for a 7,250-square-foot building, and the physical therapy clinic plans for 4,500 square feet in a building next door.

The location would be Shigs in Pit’s third in Fort Wayne. After success on the BBQ competition circuit, Shigs in Pit opened its Fairfield Avenue location in 2012. It opened a second, free-standing location along Maplecrest Road in 2017.

Indiana Physical Therapy has eight Fort Wayne clinics and 10 regional clinics.

The plan commission will consider the rezoning application next month.
