According to an article from the Daily Herald, two new concepts heading to Wheaton, called Dough and The Backyard, will soon open at 111 E Front Street.
According to Dough’s Instagram, the new concept will be “Wheaton’s new sports bar serving Detroit and New Haven style pizzas.”
For the previously mentioned article, “Wheaton entrepreneur Eric Schlickman forecasts a spring opening of his latest restaurant venture, the twin offering of Dough and The Backyard.”
“The kitchen won’t be done yet, but we’ll have a food truck that will supply the food for back there. And then probably mid- to late-April is when we’re trying to get this completely wrapped up,” Eric Schlickman, the owner, said in the Daily Herald article.
“Dough shares its kitchen with The Backyard. It will offer about 80 seats, lounge furniture, a 200-inch projection screen and accents such as wall coverings resembling ivy and turf flooring.”
“Geared toward entertainment, it’ll include Skee-Ball, darts, and arcade games. Schlickman also is looking to book live musical entertainment. Rescued from storage, Schlickman has a classic Cock Robin sign that graced the long-closed restaurant that now is Shane’s Deli. He’ll display it in either Dough or The Backyard.”
