WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Noodles & Co. is coming to Wisconsin Rapids.
A spokesperson for Noodles & Co. confirmed to the Daily Tribune Tuesday afternoon the company is working on a location at 2001 Eighth St. S. and plans to open the restaurant by the end of the year.
The location is currently occupied by Pizza Hut Italian Bistro.
A manager at Pizza Hut told the Daily Tribune Tuesday the pizza restaurant intends to stay in Wisconsin Rapids and will be relocating to another space in the city. The manager was not able to share the exact location of the new site at this time.

The building at 2001 Eighth St. S. was built in 2004, and Pizza Hut Italian Bistro opened at the site in August that year. Pizza Hut had acquired the rights to a California-based Pasta Bravo chain in order to expand its menu, and the company's Pizza Hut Italian Bistro was the result.
Noodles & Co. offers a menu of noodles, pastas, zoodles, salads, soups and more. The company that started in 1995 now has more than 450 restaurants across 26 states, including a location at 101 Division St. in Stevens Point.
