Restaurant in southwest Champaign put focus on family

CHAMPAIGN – It's been only 2 1/2 weeks since Jupiter's at the Crossing opened, but already the new family-oriented restaurant is pulling in crowds.

Carlos Nieto, an owner of the restaurant, said he purposely didn't advertise the opening. But through word of mouth, Jupiter's fans learned of the Nov. 14 opening date, which came 10 years to the day after the original Jupiter's opened in downtown Champaign.
