Woow Sushi opens soon in Algonquin
There is a new sushi restaurant coming to the Randall Road corridor.
Woow Sushi, which already has three locations throughout the Chicago suburbs, is opening a fourth along the Randall Road corridor in Algonquin.
The restaurant is expected to open within two weeks, employees say. Crews are now working to put the finishing decorating touches on the restaurant in preparation for their grand opening, they said. They also are making sure everything will flow smoothly and work properly when patrons start dining inside next month, they said.
The 3,531-squre-foot restaurant is going into Woods Creek Commons, on the west side of Randall, just north of Harnish Drive. A vacant storefront in the strip center in front of Target, and near Game Stop, will be home to Woow Sushi.
The Japanese restaurant has locations in LaGrange, Frankfort and Orland Park.
The new Algonquin location will specialize in sushi, and other Japanese and Asian cuisines. It will be open for lunch and dinner, and offers all-you-can-eat dine-in specials, employees said.
The restaurant will offer a grand opening special once the finishing touches are complete. Stay tuned for details.
Now open: A new pet supply store now is open along the Randall Road corridor in Lake in the Hills. Pet Supplies Plus opened this month in Randall Plaza, at the northwest intersection of Randall and Algonquin roads.

In addition to selling pet supplies and pet food, the store also has a self-serve dog wash to get your pup clean without messing up your house.
