Hello...

How I missed this thread before I'll never know...it's been a while since you posted so maybe you already found a location, but I think you'd have much better success out in Schaumburg / Hoffman Estates than in Vernon Hills...bars / clubs up in that area tend not to do well.

If you can afford to get in someplace near Woodfield in Schaumburg, you have a really good chance of being VERY successful.

When Bahama Breeze opened up in Schaumburg, there was a 4-hour wait every night for probably the first 8 months of operations...and their food and drink are decent but nothing memorable. (for those of you not familiar with BB it's a restaurant / bar that's part of a chain...more Jamaican in its focus than polynesian)

I would say your "hot zone" in that area would be within:
Algonquin Rd. / Meacham Rd. area (northeast)
Algonquin Rd. / Roselle Rd. area (northwest)
Schaumburg Rd. / Golf Rd. area (southwest)
Higgins Rd. / Rte. 53 area (southeast)

How's the project coming in general?
