Open for Business: Chicago Cheesesteak Co.

Chicago Cheesesteak Co.
Five years after opening Chicago Cheesesteak Co. in a sliver of downtown real estate, owner Chris Turbov added a south-side store at 303 E. Battlefield Road, Ste. A. Turbov said regular customers were asking for more seating. “We see a lot of families come in and leave because there is only four seats downtown,” he said of the 7-foot wide space at 319 1/2 E. Walnut St. The new restaurant has 24 seats. Turbov said he signed a five-year lease for 1,200 square feet at Battlefield Plaza with Jared Properties. Turbov, who manages Chicago Cheesesteak with Chris Pratt and 10 employees, said sandwiches are $7-$9. The most popular is the Philly, and the monthly special cashew chicken cheesesteak is now a regular on the menu. Hours: 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Phone: (417) 881-8424.
