Description

JOLIET, IL — The empty Pier 1 Imports store near the Louis Joliet Mall along Route 30 has been torn down in recent weeks to make way for a new Starbucks coffeehouse. The Starbucks at 3064 Plainfield Road would offer a drive-thru window, according to plans approved by the Joliet City Council last year. The demolition of the Pier 1 store marks the second commercial lot in a row to be demolished within the past year along Plainfield Road. Last summer, the vacant Diamand's Family Restaurant was torn down for a fast-food restaurant redevelopment. A Raising Cane's chicken fingers restaurant with a drive-thru window is now being built in its place. The Raising Cane's looks to be ready to open this coming spring. This photo of the Pier 1 Imports property was taken last October. John Ferak/Patch Starbucks might not be the only tenant occupying the redevelopment at the old Pier 1 Imports property.
