Dog N' Suds in Grayslake is For Sale

GRAYSLAKE, IL – The owner of the popular Dog N’ Suds in Grayslake is up for sale. Chris Beckord, owner of Dog N' Suds, has listed the business for $850,000, according to a post on the Dog N’ Suds Facebook page. Beckford has owned the Dog N’ Suds for 23 years but the business has been a Grayslake staple for almost 55 years.

"It was the first time, I made my intentions known publicly. It's been a great run. The kids loved working here, I've loved working here, but I'm 63 it's just time for me to pass the business down to the new owner," Beckord told WBBM.

The Facebook post regarding the sale has generated over 450 comments. Many local residents were concerned the business would close.

But, Beckford said that is not the case. He is looking for someone to take over the business and carry on its tradition, Beckford told WBBM. If that doesn't happen, he will still plan to operate the business and reopen next year.

The Grayslake Dog N’ Suds, located at 454 Center Street, is currently planning to reopen for its 55th season on Feb. 22.

There are currently three Dog N' Suds businesses in the Chicago area including the Grayslake location and drive-in restaurants in Richmond and Ingleside.
