• The owners of Pho Bowl Vietnamese Cuisine, which closed in May 2024, will be rebranding as “Viet Kitchen” and offering an expanded menu! The restaurant is expected to open in Fall 2026 at 203 N. Prospect Unit 300 in Bloomington (former location of Rosati’s).
• Tellers Lounge which was scheduled to open in the former Luck of the Irish Lounge in Heyworth will no longer be opening. From their FB, “After much thought and prayer, we’ve decided not to move forward with opening Tellers. While this was NOT an easy decision, we believe it’s the right one for our family at this time. Thank you to everyone who encouraged and supported us throughout the process. While this chapter is closing, we’re excited to see what opportunities the renovated open space will bring to the community.”
