The Oregon, Pie based diner recently closed many of its locations. In many articles about the closers mention that the chain has locations in Nebraska and Wyoming. I can't find the locations in these states or information on them closing recently. Can anyone verify that there's been a Shari's location in Nebraska in the past decade?

As of 2019 there was a location in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This can be referenced from Google Maps at https://maps.app.goo.gl/H92d7nmW9e55rgRUA. Street view data (last was updated 2019) shows the Sheri's location, and it does look to be open at this time.

The top view also shows the Sheri's, and that data is dated 2024.
If you really want to know, there is also a facebook page for the particular Sheri's location.

great fact check, love that you found it on google maps and used the date to increase accuracy. Further that you used street view, with the date as 2024, so we know that there is in fact a Shari's in Nebraska.

While I do appreciate the ingenuity of the google map search, it does seem that that particular Shari's is closed. A local news channel reported on it last year
