Axe Throwing Lounge Proposed In Libertyville

LIBERTYVILLE, IL — The Libertyville Village Board is expected to vote Tuesday on whether to allow a new throwing business in town.

The business, if approved Tuesday, would open in a vacant 4,400-square-foot space at 216 West Peterson Road, according to village documents. Jason Wright, of Grayslake, is heading the effort to open the "family-oriented" Lumberjaxe Axe Lounge at the Grand Plaza strip center, according to the Daily Herald.

Trustees are expected to vote Tuesday on a special use permit for the business at the shopping center, which is zoned as a general commercial district, according to village documents.

The business is expected to include 16 "lanes" where visitors can throw an ax at a target 13 feet away, Wright told the Daily Herald. Wright also plans to apply for a liquor license, with the hopes of selling beer and wine.

The board of trustees are set to meet starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The public can watch the meeting virtually online or can dial in by phone 786-535‐ 3211 and use access code 533‐ 220‐ 17.
