The purchase agreement for the Sweet Baby Rays property is on tonight's Village Board
Agenda. The Village is working on an agreement with Rose Garden which would allow them to
be relocated and operational by March 31, 2023. The proposed agreement states the Sweet Baby
Ray's property must be operated as a family style restaurant for 5 years and that the Village will
maintain ownership of the property while they renovate the new building. The Village will
provide $400,000 in relocation expenses to facilitate renovations. The owners of Rose Garden
have agreed to this deal in concept and have agreed to work with the Village on the aesthetics of
the restaurant building. The Village will coordinate with Rose Garden to communicate about the
announcement at the same time. This agreement would allow the Village to retain a family
restaurant, and also removes an impediment to the redevelopment of the Arlington/Higgins
shopping center by requiring Rose Garden to vacate their existing building by March 31, 2023.
The consensus of the Board was to purchase Sweet Baby Rays restaurant for future
redevelopment purposes.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:18 pm.
