Singer Kanye West’s failed Fatburger empire was replaced in Orland Park by a Dickey’s Barbecue Pit restaurant earlier this year and looks to soon be replaced in Beverly by another Harold’s Chicken Shack restaurant. 

The Homewood-based Harold’s has signs proclaiming a new location is coming soon to 2341 W. 95th St. in the Beverly community.  

A call to Harold’s corporate office in Homewood was not returned.

Family Dollar Coming to Tinley 

A 9,000-square-foot Family Dollar store is being built in part of the former Walgreens drugstore on the corner of the Tinley Downs strip center at 171st Street and 80th Avenue in Tinley Park. The store is slated to open later this year. 

Love Culture Opens in Orland 

Love Culture, a women’s fashion and accessories store, is now open in the former Bath & Body Works location in the upper level Sears Court at Orland Square Mall in Orland Park. The store had been expected to open in August. For information, visit Love Culture online. 

The mall also announced that the Island Carousel, which had been removed during remodeling, is now back in its rightful place in the lower level J.C. Penney Court. 

Hannah & Harry's Closes 

Just a few months after it was reopened under the new name of Hannah & Harry's Restaurant, the former Hannah's restaurant in New Buffalo, Mich., is shuttered again.

The restaurant, which had closed in the summer of 2009, had reopened in June across the Indiana state line in New Buffalo.

The restaurant closed earlier this month and is for sale by its consortium of owners, one of whom wants to reopen the establishment with new partners.
