A new Dunkin’ Donuts has opened at 10301 S. Central Ave. in Oak Lawn in the former Buscemi’s Beef restaurant.

The new doughnut shop offers the usual Dunkin coffee and doughnuts and also has a drive-up window.

Except for a coin-laundry, the rest of the retail strip is vacant, which may be the result of a lengthy foreclosure case that dates back to February 2011.

Cosi Closes in Orland Park 

Updating an item first reported in May, Cosi has closed its restaurant at 15139 S. LaGrange Road in Orland Park. 

Emails to the company were not answered then or this week regarding the 3,000-square-foot restaurant at Orland Park Place, but the Deerfield-based chain is in trouble and its stock closed down at 68 cents per share on Friday.

The nearest Cosi is now in Hinsdale. 

Liquor is Quicker in Orland

The Orland Park Village Board last week approved a full liquor license for The Cheesecake Factory under construction at Orland Square Mall and beer and wine licenses for the Baker’s Square locations at 15711 S. Harlem Ave. and 14651 S. LaGrange Road.
 
PetSmart Closing in Lansing

The Petsmart store at 17525 S. Torrence Ave. in Lansing is closing at the end of business on Sunday, Oct. 28. The store is in the midst of a closing sale, if you need any pet supplies.
