Chipotle
Village Planner Michael Garrigan said the Mexican restaurant chain will open up shop next year in the Kensington South shopping center at 127th Street and Route 59.
According to Garrigan, the franchisee has submitted remodeling plans to the village’s building department for the site, which formerly housed a mattress store.
Nevin’s Brewing
The American-themed brewery, 12337 S. Route 59, was originally slated to open by Labor Day before pushing back the date to just before Thanksgiving.
Now, according to the company, a grand opening is scheduled for sometime in December.
The Plainfield location, part of the Tommy Nevin’s chain, held a hiring open house for bartenders, servers and kitchen staff earlier this month, and has reportedly hired a master brewer, according to its Facebook page.
