It's definately going to have the classic early Trader decor - like Dallas. Also we on using all of the remaining original Chicago T.V. tikis, giant clam shells and artifacts that are in the Trader's warehouse in California. (we used some in Dallas) It's several months until the fog cutters start pouring but definately something to look forward to.

LS Lake Surfer Tiki Socialite Milwaukee, WI Joined: Oct 21, 2002 Posts: 3417	LS Lake Surfer Posted posted on Tue, Feb 12, 2008 10:48 PM A friend of mine received an email from the corporate offices of Trader Vic's regarding the Chicago opening... March has just about come and gone... that used to be the target date. Thanks for your email, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We're finalizing the details with the new owner for the new TV in Chicago, so unfortunately we don't have an opening date to give to you. It will probably be late June early July? I am saving your email address and will be happy to let you know when we know the exact opening date, or ever a realistic approximate date. I guess we continue to wait.
