According to an article from the Daily Herald, alongside the new concept Dough, The Backyard will debut in Wheaton at 111 E Front Street.
The Backyard’s website describes the space as “We want to create a space for the community to come together and do something!” It is also described as “Downtown Wheaton’s center for entertainment.”
“We’re hoping to do a soft launch of at least the back around March Madness,” Schlickman said in the article, referring to the college basketball tournament that ends with the men’s Division I championship on April 7.
“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.”
“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.”
