Closed Darien Eatery May Get New Occupant
DARIEN, IL – The old Darien Wendy's restaurant, which closed in early December, may get a new occupant, an official said Monday. "Wendy's is under contract," Dan Gombac, Darien's municipal services director, told the City Council. "When these bigger boys are out there, they don't disclose until the last minute what's coming in. But it sounds like it's going to be a restaurant of some type, whether it's fast food or white cloth." The old Wendy's is at the southwest corner of Route 83 and Plainfield Road, close to Hinsdale South High School. Asked about the old TFI Fridays building, Gombac said, "There's some rumbling going on." But he gave no details. TGI Fridays at 2201 75th St. closed its doors in December, a month after the chain filed for bankruptcy protection. The local restaurant was at Darien Towne Center, which includes Walmart. In December, Gombac told the council that both Wendy's and TGI Fridays were seeing a lack of sales.
