Btw, on the door to the store, the sign does not say Yapchik, it only mentions Glatt Bite & Bun Burger.
When I looked again at the sign in this post, I see that the Yapchik was added later, as there isn’t an indent like the other two.

Mike's added it. It's not photoshopped.

Mike's is back open. I got this email from them:

Dear Beloved Mike's Chicken Family,

We are overjoyed to announce that after a brief "smoke break", Mike's Chicken is flapping its wings once again! We thank G-d that starting today, Wednesday 2/21 @ 4:30 PM we're officially back in business, ready to serve you. Our brief closure has been a whirlwind of emotions, hose-downs, a bit of soot-cleaning, and a reaffirmation of our appreciation for all of our wonderful customers.

🙏 A Special Thanks 🙏

The outpouring of support during our closure was nothing short of overwhelming. From your encouraging messages to offers of help, every gesture added to our determination, reminding us why we do what we do. It's for you, our incredible customers, who have stood by us, making the rapid turnaround possible.

Go-Time

So, don your stretchiest pants and prepare your alibis for the diet police, because Mike's Chicken is back in business! Let's make this reunion a memorable one, filled with laughter, good company, and some crunchy chicken.
