Noodles & Company, a restaurant that features noodles and pasta dishes, will open its 50th location in Illinois Monday morning at 21075 S. LaGrange Road in an outlot in front of Walgreens and Mariano's Fresh Market in Frankfort.

The 2,434-square-foot restaurant has seating for 64 inside the dining room and 14 on an outside patio.

The Colorado-based chain has more than 380 restaurant locations across the United States. Its menu consists of two dozen customizable dishes such as sweet and spicy Japanese Pan Noodles, zesty Pesto Cavatappi and Wisconsin Mac & Cheese.

Regular restaurant hours will be Monday through Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

For more information, call the restaurant at 815- 464-1775.

Last week, Physicians Immediate Care opened a sixth clinic at 21035 S. LaGrange Road in the same outlot building.

The 3,700-square-foot office was the first business to open in the building, which will also house a Jersey Mike's sandwich shop.

The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. It features an X-ray room, labs, six exam rooms, including two trauma rooms and a pediatric room.

The clinic offers a three-tier pricing plan for patients who do not have health insurance.

Nearby clinics are in New Lenox and Orland Park.

Martini Blu closes in Orland Hills

Martini Blu, a nightclub that specialized in martinis, closed early this year at 8927 W. 159th St. in Orland Hills.

The owner said the club closed on New Year's Day because its landlord would not renew the lease after 11 years.

In a posting on the club's Facebook page, the owner said he would reopen in a new location but did not say when or where.
