Burger King recently closed its longstanding restaurant location in the Frankfort Town Center at Colorado Avenue and LaGrange Road in Frankfort.
The Miami-based corporation did not respond to an email asking about the reason for the closing.
A spokesman for Seattle-based Starbucks said despite rumors there was no plan to relocate the company's coffee shop within the mall to the vacant Burger King site.
"Right now, we’re focused on serving the Frankfort area at our existing stores and have no store opening plans to announce," the spokesman said in an email.
Lou Malnati's opens in New Lenox
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria opened its 44th location last month in New Lenox.
The latest location offers carryout, delivery and catering services at 2510 E. Lincoln Highway. The restaurant is known for its Chicago-style deep dish and also has a wide variety of other items on its menu.
Hours are from 4-10 p.m. Monday to Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday to Sunday.
The Malnati Organization had expressed an interest in expanding into New Lenox for some time, according to Stu Cohen, vice chairman of the Malnati Organization.
“We are thrilled to be able to join the Village of New Lenox. As a thriving community and a great place to raise a family, we feel it is a natural fit for a Lou Malnati’s,” said Cohen in a release.
