“Seeing businesses interested in opening up new locations in Bridgeview is always a sign that we’re supportive of growth here,” said Trustee Michael Pticek. “I’m glad to see progress is happening so we can make use of the otherwise tenant-free property.” 

It won’t be long until a new business takes up residence in Bridgeview along Harlem between 75th street and 74th street. Demolition has been in progress to remove unused buildings from the block-long property to make way for a QuikTrip fueling center with the potential to provide property, sales, and motor fuel taxes to the Village of Bridgeview in the future while providing a convenient gas station for southbound Harlem traffic. The prime location should prove valuable to both the business and the Village once the construction of the fueling center is completed.
