The family chain's Mount Pleasant location.The Post and Courier has a story on how and why. Thankfully, it looks like they're aiming to save some the low-key all-day breakfast feel. But it looks like the old name is a goner.

The restaurant is no stranger to change, as its 24-hour service was scaled back in the past few months.
