“You are literally only open during the summer. How do you not schedule this work during the fall or spring?”“We are unsure of exact timing as of now but please stay tuned on social for all updates,” reads Castaways’ reply.Stefani said it wasn’t his intention to have the place closed at the start of its peak season.
“We had to do drawings and everything else,” Stefani told the Sun-Times. “It’s very common. As much as we wish we could have done it sooner, we weren’t able to do it.” Stefani said he’s waiting for the permits to be approved, but he said he was unaware that the application for work had been sent back for corrections.
He expressed concerns about hiring staff in a tight labor market, and said he wants Castaways to be open “ASAP.”The restaurant known for its views and frozen cocktails sits on prime Chicago Park District property, leased from taxpayers. Park district spokeswoman Michele Lemons did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Elisa Sledzinska, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, confirmed that Castaways has operating licenses valid through March 15, 2024.
