As the remodeling of the former site of Applebee’s in Romeoville has been in the works for months, the incoming restaurant owners are ready to hire.
Owners of the Bee Brothers restaurant announced a two-day hiring event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 23 and 24 at its location, 472 Weber Road. The walk-in event requires no appointments. Hopeful should expect to fill out applications and proceed with interviews.
A family restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, Bee Brothers will be the first foray into the restaurant business for the young ownership group who also run El Ranchito Supermarket in Joliet.
The restaurant is expected to serve breakfast standards, but with a few different, unique dishes.
With its name, the restaurant will serve freshly-made honey biscuits and have a bee-like theme, associating its interior with the colors of the honey producers.
Vacant for more than four years, the former site of Applebee’s will now be home to this new family restaurant.
Applebee’s closed in June 2013 after filing for bankruptcy and closing eight suburban locations in the same time period.
