Car wash at Ritzy's site in Rolling Meadows approved

Plans for a Fuller's Car Wash at site of the former Ritzy's restaurant site in Rolling Meadows earned final approval this week from the city council.

Aldermen gave initial approval during a first reading vote July 25, but before the second reading vote Aug. 8, they removed a rule restricting left turns from the car wash onto Algonquin Road during the weekday morning and afternoon rush hours. Alderman John D'Astice, whose Ward 6 includes the site at 2765 Algonquin Road, said other businesses on Algonquin don't have that restriction.

The restaurant closed in April 2014 after 30 years in business. That building will be demolished, making way for an automatic tunnel car wash and 12 self-operated outdoor vacuums.

Car wash likely to open on ex-Ritzy's property in Rolling Meadows
