GURNEE, Ill. (WLS) Four Lake County restaurants are planning to welcome back customers Friday for indoor dining against state orders, part of a growing trend in the Chicago area.
In Gurnee this week, Timothy O Toole s, Stevens , and Kaiser s Pizza and Pub joined The Shanty in neighboring Wadsworth to announce the move on Facebook.
The coalition is pledging what it calls a responsible, 25% reduced capacity, socially-distant indoor experience, which runs afoul of state-mandated Tier 3 mitigation rules.
In its online statement, the group said in part, Our teams have sacrificed a lot since March with two full indoor shutdowns.
They go on to say all four restaurants . have great respect for the safety-first approach each of our businesses have taken from the very beginning.
