Lake In The Hills To Get New Starbucks

LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL — Plans are moving forward for the construction of a second Starbucks in Lake in the Hills.

The proposed 2,450-square-foot cafe with a drive-thru and outdoor patio would be located on a vacant lot at 4501 W. Algonquin Road in Lake in the Hills, according to village documents. The business would be built at the northeast corner of Algonquin and Lakewood roads, directly east of a CVS Pharmacy at 4511 W. Algonquin Road.

Conditional uses and development plans for the new Starbucks have been approved by the village's planning and zoning commission and village board during meetings in February, according to village officials.

The village's Board of Trustees approved zoning appeals required to move the project forward on Feb. 22, but building permits are still needed before construction can start, John Svalenka, director of community development for the village of Lake in the Hills, told Patch.

"We expect the applicant to submit architectural plans for review soon," Svalenka said.

Construction is expected to start in the coming months.

Currently, Lake in the Hills has one Starbucks located at 343 N. Randall Road and the new development would be the village's second Starbucks' location.
