The Coach’s in downtown Norman, 102 W Main St., was the first to open and as of Jan. 31, was the last to close. The venerable pizza, barbecue and burger concept makes way for a new S&B Burger Joint, marking the fourth addition to the local chain. The downtown Norman space had been operating as S&B Burger Joint by Coach’s since October, but ownership ultimately decided a full-on conversion was in order, retiring the Coach’s name at the end of January.

The new store opens Monday with special services benefiting Food and Shelter for Friends from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Customers can get a table with a minimum $5 donation and eat for free. All items besides bottled sodas, alcoholic beverages and pies will be free with that donation.
