A ‘revival’ for Revival under new ownership
Revival gets re-fired with new owners
When Revival abruptly closed its four locations earlier this year, the move sent shock waves through the local restaurant community, but now the famed fried chicken will be returning under new ownership.
(FOX 9) – Revival’s new owners say they plan to carry on its legacy.
Bringing back a fan favorite
What we know:
When Revival abruptly closed its four locations earlier this year, the move sent shock waves through the local restaurant community.
Now the popular eatery known for its signature fried chicken is being resurrected.
“We feel blessed. Just excited. Just excited,” said Jester Concepts owner, Brent Frederick.
Keeping the brand alive
The backstory:
Jester Concepts, which owns, Borough and Parlor in the North Loop, as well as several other restaurants has purchased the Revival name, recipes and other intellectual properties with plans to revive it.
Frederick says he admired previous co-owners Nick Rancone and Thomas Boemer from afar and reached out to help when he learned Revival had closed.
“Nick and I used to work together.We worked with Thomas on the food side on multiple different events and we just got to know them and love their brand. So when it became available, we just hopped on it,” said Frederick.
Frederick says at first Revival will be reintroduced through its two food trucks but Jester will be looking for a location to open a brick and mortar location in the next year or two.
He says Rancone and Boemer will stay on as consultants and have an ownership stake in the new restaurant.
“I romanticize that first initial dining experience at the initial Revival in Minneapolis and I’m going to be looking to recreate that in and around town somewhere,” said Frederick
What they’re saying:
With its southern comfort food, Revival tempted diners’ taste buds for nearly a decade.
But Frederick believes the Twin Cities has an appetite for more and he’s ready to bring the fan favorite into the future.
“We’re just super excited to acquire it and kind of carry on the legacy and the brand,” said Frederick.
The revived Revival’s fried chicken will be available this weekend, when their food truck will be at Wooden Ship Brewing in South Minneapolis on Saturday and Steel Toe Brewing in St Louis Park on Sunday.

Woman sentenced in fatal Minneapolis crash
Big picture view:
Prosecutors say Teniki Steward drove a Buick Enclave into a bus shelter and a Ford Explorer after speeding through a red light.
Both of the women in the Ford Explorer died in the crash. They were identified as 53-year-old Ester Jean Fulks and 57-year-old Rose Elaine Reece.
During the crash, the Ford Explorer went off the road, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was waiting for a school bus.
The passenger in Steward’s vehicle also suffered injuries.
Minneapolis police said that Steward was also injured in the crash.
Steward pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges.
What they’re saying:
During the sentencing, the daughter of one of the victims had a statement read on her behalf:
“There’s nothing that can truly prepare you for the moment your entire world is taken from you. Losing my mom has left a pain in my heart that words will never be able to explain.”
What’s next:
Minnesota law requires that Steward serves at least two-thirds of her sentence, a bit under eight-and-a-half years, in prison.
Fatal Emerson and 26th crash
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, through surveillance videos from the scene of the crash and witnesses, investigators learned that Steward, driving the Buick Enclave, had been driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Emerson Avenue North.
Before the fatal crash, Steward sped through the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North, running a red light and nearly causing a crash, the charges said.
Steward then continued to speed northbound down Emerson Avenue North, and ran another red light at 26th Avenue North, hitting the Ford Explorer, which was traveling eastbound, according to the complaint.
The Ford Explorer had been at the intersection of Emerson and 26th on a green light.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty shared the following statement:
“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop. Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”
