Jillian's on Champaign's South Neil Street closes
CHAMPAIGN – The Jillian's restaurant and entertainment center on South Neil Street has closed, with its Louisville, Ky.-based operator saying the Champaign facility had run its course.
"We had a fantastic 15 years in Champaign. We really liked the market quite a bit, but it just ran the cycle," said Tyler Warfield, president of JBC Entertainment. "The downtown has gone through such a resurgence, and we were just enough off the path that it became a tough pull for us."
