New Lenox-based Lincoln-Way Community Bank has opened its second office at 19102 S. 88th Avenue in Mokena.

The bank was formed several years ago but had only one office in New Lenox to go along with a number of ATM locations.

The new office has been home to a few banks, but has been vacant for a number of years.

Lobby and drive-up hours for the new branch are from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Dania holds liquidation sale in Orland Park

California-based Dania, a furniture chain with four locations in Illinois, is holding a liquidation sale ahead of what the retailer is calling a major rebranding in 2015.

The company plans to close all four Illinois stores, at 14830 S. LaGrange Road in Orland Park, 1001 Skokie Blvd. in Northbrook, 515 W. Roosevelt in Lombard and 1621 S. Randall Road in Algonquin, this year while the company rebrands itself.

What that rebranding would include remains unclear as calls for comment were not returned.
