1) Mochinut opening at 733 W Fullerton in Lincoln Common next to Equinox. This is according to their website:

Website before got the address wrong. It's actually for 734 W Fullerton (now updated on the website). They got a permit for the company sign on Thursday (9/8). Hopefully opening soon enough. This is the former homes of Philly Bros and Green Bean Restaurant.
Five New Mochinut Locations Coming to Chicagoland
Sites include Chicago, Wheeling, Schaumburg, Niles, and Naperville
Suburban Farm-to-Table Stronghold Farmhouse Evanston Is Closing
I’d love to be proven wrong, but I’m confident that Ragadan is Chicago’s only restaurant that purposefully combines the food of Jordan and Oklahoma. While the Middle Eastern country and the southern state might seem to have little in common, for owner Daniel Sweis, the two make perfect sense together. “I’m an Arabic dude who grew up in Oklahoma,” Sweis said. “The menu reflects me.”
This means you can swing by Ragadan and pick up a platter of hummus with falafel, while also scoring a double cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake. All of it will be great.

Too much competition for middle eastern food in Skokie. Also with opening of Mr. Falafel across the street in the Best Buy Strip mall on Touhy spelled the beginning of the end of Crave Kabob in that poor location in terms of traffic (foot and automobile) where there have been at least 3 restaurants in the past 5 yrs.

It was decent. A couple dollars cheaper than Tomo, slightly larger portion, but the broth wasn't quite as good. They don't have a website, but it looks like there's another location in Downers Grove.

If they had just said, "We're planning to close soon when the deal goes through," employees would have had the chance to search for new jobs to avoid a period of no income. Not considering that closing suddenly during a holiday break might leave people over a barrel shows that the owners had no regard for the people who kept their business afloat long enough to sell it off.
