ROCK AND BREWS The petitioner proposes to construct a 6,500 square foot rock and roll themed restaurant on Lot 7 of the Orland Crossing Shopping Center. In 2007, the Village Board of Trustees approved this lot for an Ethan Allen Furniture Gallery that was never fully developed. Lot 7 is the last developable parcel available in Orland Crossing. The site is located directly west of the BP gas station located on the northeast corner of 143rd Street and LaGrange Road. The primary building material for the restaurant will be masonry. The design will imitate the branding and theme of existing Rock and Brews Restaurants, built in other parts of the USA. The petitioner plans an enhanced outdoor seating area that will encompass approximately 4,000 square feet. The use will bring great food, entertainment and one of a kind experience to Downtown Orland Park. Rock and Brews anticipates a spring 2019 opening.
