Photo's Hotdogs in Mount Prospect gets new ownership - Chicago Daily Herald

The approval of a liquor license served as an unofficial welcome to the purchasers of a longtime Mount Prospect business, whose former owner is retiring. The "F2" liquor license, which provides for the sale of beer and wine at dining tables, was granted by the village board to Photo's Hotdogs, 1708 Kensington Road. The purchaser, Bhavik Modi, and his cousin, Ashish Modi, whose credentials as a former manager of a liquor establishment in Woodridge were helpful with the license application, appeared before trustees at Tuesday's meeting. Although neither of the cousins has experience in the restaurant industry, they said owning and operating a community business is their "American dream. "We love food," Bhavik Modi told the board. Bhavik Modi said he recognized the diversity in the clientele -- ranging from families with small children to people working across the street, as well as members of the senior community. He said the goal is to serve the highest quality food at an affordable price with great service. Source: www.dailyherald.com
