Grand Lux Café on Magnificent Mile to soon close for good
The restaurant, originally created by the Cheesecake Factory, has been in business for more than two decades
A longtime Magnificent Mile restaurant will soon close its doors for good.
Grand Lux Café, which had been in business for over 20 years, confirmed to NBC Chicago last month that they will shutter their doors at the conclusion of the holiday season.
“We are working with our staff to help them transition to other opportunities in one of our nearby concepts,” the restaurant said in a statement. “We have enjoyed being a part of the downtown Chicago community and hope that our guests will continue to dine with us at our other restaurants in the area.”
The statement went on to say that Grand Lux Café will serve diners for the final time on Dec. 24. It will be closed on Christmas Day and thereafter.
The restaurant, originally created by The Cheesecake Factory, did not give a reason behind its upcoming closure.
As of Dec. 11, take-out and delivery were available on the restaurant’s website, but reservations were not.
Grand Lux joins AT&T, Verizon and Old Navy in businesses that have recently closed along the city’s iconic shopping strip.
Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays, according to the company.
