The Rolling Meadows Plan Commission voted Wednesday night to recommend that the City Council allow a drive-through lane to be built as part of a Baskin-Robbins/Dunkin’ Donuts/Togo’s building proposed at The Marketplace of Rolling Meadows.
Commissioners recommended that The Marketplace’s planned development be amended to allow the drive-through lane as a special use even though a walkway and seven parking spaces will be cut from the plans.
The ice cream, doughnut and sandwich shop would be built in an outlot at the shopping center under construction to replace the failed Meadows Town Mall at 1400 Golf Rd.
Bradford Real Estate Service Corp. of Chicago is replacing the indoor mall with 294,487 square feet of retail space, including a Wal-Mart, a Sam’s Club, an Odyssey Fun World, a relocated Old Country Buffet and three retail outlots.
“We are requesting a drive-through because the tenant found it an important part of the business,” said Eric Dams of Bradford Property Corp.
