A demolition permit has been issued by the City of Chicago to remove a former Brown’s Chicken restaurant at 6909 West Archer Avenue in Garfield Ridge. Permission came through on August 21, with Master Guys Demolition assigned to teardown duties at a reported cost of $15,000. The restaurant closed in 2018 and was listed for sale by the owner. It has been vacant since.

A pending permit in the Chicago Data Portal using the address of 6905 West Archer proposes a two-tenant commercial building for the site. One of those businesses is Buffalo Wild Wings, with the second occupant to be determined. Parking and a trash enclosure are the only details included in that permit, which has been pending since June 17.
