Beggars Pizza To Fill Empty Branmor's In Bolingbrook

BOLINGBROOK, IL - The growing village of Bolingbrook is about to land a popular Chicago-area pizza franchise that continues to expand. Beggars Pizza is opening a new location in Bolingbrook at the shuttered Branmor's American Grill, 300 Veterans Parkway. For 17 years, Branmor's was an elegant restaurant, but it closed in July 2013. The building has remained vacant. But those days are coming to an end, thanks to Beggars Pizza.

Last week, Patch visited the site and saw several electricians working inside and outside at the business. There is also a drop box near the front door to pick up job applications and return them.

The advertising message board along Veterans Parkway at Lily Cache Lane alerts motorists that Beggars Pizza is "Coming Soon." But how soon?

That remains a mystery.

On Jan. 2, Beggars Pizza announced on its website the new Bolingbrook restaurant is "Opening Beginning of 2018!"

Beggars has been around since 1976, and according to its website, it operates pizza restaurants in the following communities:

• Blue Island
• Bourbonnais
• Chicago
• Crown Point
• Downers Grove
• Dyer
• Harvey
• Lansing
• Maywood
• Merrionette Park
• Mokena
• New Lenox
• Oak Forest
• Oak Lawn
• Orland Park
• Plainfield
• Richton Park
• Whiting
• Winfield
