Southland Savvy
Another national pizza chain opened a few weeks ago in
Tinley Park when Jet’s Pizza landed at 17105 S. 88th Avenue.
The Michigan-based chain, which proudly calls itself the 17th
largest pizza chain in the country, is in an expansion mode and the Tinley
location is its first in the Southland.
Calls to the pizzeria’s general manager were not returned.
The eatery serves pizza, sub sandwiches and salads and its signature item is a deep
dish square pizza.
The pizzeria opens early at 11 a.m. daily and is open until
10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
For information, call 708-263-0150 and check out some early reviews at Yelp.com.
FrancoNello’s
now open for dinner
After months of delays, FrancoNello’s Italian Restaurant
has finally reopened at 10222 S. Western Ave. in Beverly – though only from
4-10 p.m. for dinner right now.
The restaurant was gutted and rebuilt after a devastating
Labor Day fire on Sept. 4, 2011.
Marty Joyce, from Ald. Matt O’Shea’s office, said part of the lengthy rebuilding
process was that owner Frank Ruffolo reconfigured the inside of the restaurant.
Joyce said the inside of the restaurant looks beautiful
and the upstairs has been transformed into a nice banquet area.
Calls and emails to Ruffolo were not returned.
Plass
Appliance to shut down
Family-owned Plass Appliances, which had already closed
its Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, Bourbonnais and Burbank stores, has announced it
will close its remaining five locations by the summer.
