PLAINFIELD, IL — Continuing power outages in Plainfield have caused one business to close Wednesday and left another unable to serve drinks until power is restored.
Werk Force Brewing and Ten Drops, both stationed in the same building off Center Street, had their operations affected the day after a severe storm ripped through Plainfield.
The brewery said Wednesday morning it hopes to open at 3 p.m. The coffee shop said it remains open but cannot serve beverages until the power returns. It said it hopes to be able to serve coffee drinks later in the day.
"Thank you for all the support, love, patience, and good vibes while we ride out this latest adventure," Werk Force wrote in a Facebook post. "We appreciate you more than you know."
About 1,660 ComEd customers in Plainfield are impacted by power outages Wednesday, the utility company reported.
