The first of Eight Chicago area Tony Sacco’s Coal Oven pizza franchises will be opening on Tuesday, June 21st at Randurst Village in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. Erin Morgan, president of EBM Enterprises, (the development agent for Tony Sacco’s in the Chicago area) stated that the new store will open This Tuesday. We have had a lot of people excited about the opening and can’t wait to try coal oven pizza. Erin said that baking pizza in a coal oven provides a different taste than pizzas baked in conventional pizza ovens. Our oven reaches an internal temperature of 1000 degrees, which bakes our pizzas in about four minutes, not drying out the sauce and preserving the natural flavors of the toppings. This uniqueness allows us to achieve the perfect crust, light and crispy, not dry and chewy.
When asked why he chose Randhurst Village as the first Chicagoland location, Erin, who lives in the local area and liked the new design and concept of the mall, stated that the commitment and support from Casto (the mall developer) and the Village of Mount Prospect to make this a first class entertainment complex, was the deciding factor for being the choice for the first of the Chicagoland Tony Sacco’s location. “While I looked at many locations throughout the market, when I took everything into consideration, this location had so many positive attributes that I wanted to have it be my first location.” Morgan added “ I really wanted to make a splash and make an immediate impact with the first location”. Another driving force for the location selected was the longevity shown in Mount Prospect to support retail business. “The fact that Randhurst Mall thrived in the local community, for over 50 years, proved to me that the market for this type of concept, in this particular location, would be a natural fit”. “The community has proven time and time again that it will support business that offer great value, and we are thrilled to be here” added Morgan.
Chuck Senatore, CEO and co-founder of Tony Sacco’s was very impressed with the vision and the strategic plan that Casto had for redeveloping the mall. “Not only are we excited to be entering the Chicago market, but we are particularly pleased with the selection for the first of the Chicago locations, said Senatore”.
