NORTHBROOK, IL – (October 17, 2006) – Pinstripes, Inc., a distinctive bowling/bocce/bistro concept, held a groundbreaking ceremony today for the construction of its 45,000 sq. ft. indoor/outdoor entertainment and dining facility. The company plans to redefine the entertainment and dining experience by offering communities an opportunity to celebrate "sophisticated fun" in a unique facility that will include: 18 bowling lanes; 6 bocce courts; an Italian/American bistro and wine cellar; event/party rooms accommodating 20-250; and an outdoor patio and fireplace. Its flagship location is in the Willow-Festival lifestyle shopping center under construction in Northbrook, Illinois, and Pinstripes will soon offer guests in the Chicago market an alternative form of entertainment and dining.
