Arby's, Wingstop On Weber Road To Open As Soon As July

ROMEOVILLE, IL — The end is in sight. The new Arby's and Wingstop locations on Weber Road are set to open as early as mid-July or August, Josh Potter, the village's community development director, said Friday.

The two fast-food chains, located at 470-474 S. Weber Road, are in their final stage of construction, which was first announced in August 2020. The third and final restaurant joining the bunch will be Little Caesars. Potter said construction on the pizza joint hasn't started yet because the village is reviewing their development plans, which came in last week.

“It’s moving along good and they’ve made a lot of progress because of good weather,” Potter said.

As the anchor for the center, Arby's will also have a drive-thru.

The building housing the three restaurants is more than 5,200 square feet and will include 31-36 parking spots out front. The restaurants will occupy the remaining lots in the Romeoville Crossing Shopping Center, alongside Firestone and the Presence Healing Arts Pavilion.

The total cost for constructing the building's shell is about $550,000, but once all construction, including the interiors, is done, Potter said it'll come out to be about a million-dollar project.

Popeye's, which is opening a location across the street, at 421 S. Weber Road, is expected to open sometime in August, Potter said.
