Hinsch’s successor looks for new franchisee
Unlike its predecessor Hinsch’s, Stewart’s seems to be sticking around.
On Wednesday, July 26 news broke via social media that Stewart’s All American — the newest incarnation of Ridge mainstay Hinsch’s, which first opened in 1915 and changed over to the chain in 2015 — is in the market for a new franchisee.
While some worried that the market listing foreshadowed the end to yet another chapter in the Hinsch’s history book, Lee Moudatsos, who owns and operates the local franchise alongside his father, Mike, assured this paper that the 86th Street eatery will, in fact, remain a Stewart’s.
