I Luv Ur Buns, a bao bun concept, will take over the former Waffle Love space at SteelCraft, an urban eatery that reuses old shipping containers to host food concepts.

The grand opening is set for July 20 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a soft opening Tuesday. The event Saturday will have raffles, discounts, games, live music and more planned for the celebration.

For I Luv Ur Buns co-owner Sonya Suon, opening her concept inside Steel Craft was something she's always wanted.
