Board Approves Outdoor Dining At Quarry Pub And Grill

LEMONT, IL — At the Lemont village board meeting on July 22, the board approved a special use permit for an electronic message center sign for the new Pete's Fresh Market. The market, located at 1100 State St., will open early this fall, possibly in September.

Mayor John Egofske said Pete's Fresh wants to be open well in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday season.

"If something does go wrong, they will probably delay the opening into the new year," he said, adding that the market wouldn't want to be training new staff with large crowds during the holiday season.

Outdoor Dining At Quarry Pub And Grill

The village board also approved a special use permit for an outdoor dining area for the Quarry Pub and Grill. The restaurant, located at 1015 State St., will have outdoor dining on the western portion of the property, closest to State Street.

"It's great to see continued growth," Egofske said, adding that the board has to be conscious of any outdoor seating. He said they will monitor noise levels, even though residents nearby did express support of the outdoor dining.
