Trendy Homemade Meal Chain Coming to Illinois for First Time Ever

If you’re looking for the latest and greatest in the world of fast food, you won’t have long to wait before a new trendy homemade meal chain will be opening in Illinois as that’s now planned before the end of the year.

I saw Nation’s Restaurant News announce that Beef-a-Roo has just approved their first ever Illinois location. The exact city and street location has not been revealed yet. The company did indicate they planned to open the Illinois place along with others that were just approved for franchising by the end of the year.

The press release says that a new corporate store is coming to southwestern Missouri, too. Beef-a-Roo currently does have a Springfield restaurant.

If you’re not familiar with Beef-a-Roo, their site says “Founded in 1967, Beefaroo is a fast casual restaurant chain serving famously delicious, handmade meals at affordable prices.”

Can Beef-a-Roo succeed in a year when so many other restaurant chains are suffering cutbacks and store closings? Time will tell the tale, but it appears at the very least Illinois has a new fast food option incoming. I will update this article once the specific city and street location of the Illinois Beef-a-Roo is announced.
