DLR opening looms but no official date yet

24-Oct-08 – The CEO of Dick’s Last Resort says they are “scrambling with the final inspections,” but there is no official date yet for the Dallas-based restaurant/bar to open at Marina City.

A sign on the door says only that the location will open in October, which will end next week. On Thursday and Friday of this week, a half-page ad for Dick’s appeared in the Chicago Tribune declaring, “We’re moving the mayhem to Marina City!”

Steve Schiff, CEO of Dick’s Last Resort, says he has not made public a specific date “because I don’t want to jinx the deal.”

In addition to extensive remodeling of the southwest corner of the three-acre commercial platform, the company has made Marina City part of its name. According to its liquor license application, their legal name is “Dick’s Last Resort Of Marina City, Inc.”
