They have a new opportunity that is taking them south, and closer to Louisiana. Most of their team has decided that they will move on as well, and this will be their last week.

Wienerschnitzel In Lufkin Gets New General Manager

One year after opening the Lufkin Wienerschnitzel, they discontinued the banana split shake. If you have ever been to or met anyone from Lufkin, they just won't let you not.

Even though the entire company of Wienerschnitzel stopped making this, locals continued to order it, so they kept making it.

Now, 6 years later, they are still somehow making the banana split shake at the Lufkin location. On Tuesday, a new franchisee and General Manager will take over the store, and it could lead to the discontinuation of the shake, well, because it's been over.
