Asian restaurant companies combine
CHICAGO - Two Asian restaurants with suburban locations are joining with hopes of expanding in the near future. Chicago-based Stir Crazy Restaurants, with locations in Schaumburg, Oakbrook, Warrenville and Northbrook, and FlatTop Grill, with locations in Oak Park, Naperville, Lombard, Evanston and Chicago, have combined to form Flat Out Crazy LLC. The result is 28 restaurants in eight states with capability of opening 30 new restaurants over the next three years in both urban and suburban settings across the country. Stir Crazy Fresh Asian Grill and FlatTop Grill, owned by the Happy Valley Corp. of Oak Park, will retain their names as well as their individual concepts. Flat Out Crazy, will run these two concepts independent of one another while at the same time continuing to look to each concept for best practices, people development, efficiencies and enhancements.
