On Thursday, July 15th Lou’s participated in Addison’s Rock N’ Wheels.

The event is a concert series in Addison Village with thousands of spectators. Lou’s sold over 500 slices of pizza and brought great awareness to the Addison location, which was directly across the street from the concert! A special thanks to Ryan and the Addison team for doing a great job!

Also on Thursday, July 25^th Lou’s was at Constitution Park for Oak Park’s Summer Parties in the Park.

With a live band, face painting and balloon making activities, Lou’s was on hand to sample out nearly 300 slices of pizza to local residents of Oak Park. A big thanks is in order to Jaromie and the entire Oak Park staff for providing assistance during the event.

Lou’s was on hand in South Loop at the Cooper Apartment Complex for their 1^st Annual “Taste of the Cooper” sampling event on Saturday, July 27th.

We sampled out over 250 slices of pizza to residents and helped introduce our restaurant to many new residents who have moved in from out of town. Other local restaurants and vendors on hand included Portillo’s, Cactus Bar and Grill, Xsport Fitness, and BLVD Restaurant.

Lou’s was in Schaumburg to help hand out over 500 slices in the 5^th annual Ride for Hope for Ovarian Cancer Awareness on Sunday, July 28th.

Motorcyclists journeyed over 50 miles and ended up at Schaumburg Boomers Baseball Stadium where they could purchase food from other vendors and get a free sample slice of Lou’s! The riders loved the pizza and were super appreciative of Lou’s participating. A big thank you to Linda and the Schaumburg team for supplying help and cranking out 90 pizzas.

Continuing our tradition of generosity, our Oak Park team recently volunteered at the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry!

The Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry provides healthy and nutritious meals to 13 zip codes across Cook County. The Oak Park team helped to unload food deliveries, stock shelves, and re-pack produce!

Kindness Rocks!

On Monday, April 22nd Lou Malnati’s Bolingbrook and Lou Malnati’s Naperville – South 95th teams got together to volunteer for Feed My Starving Children in Aurora.

They worked together to assemble boxes of meals that will feed children who need it most.

Lou Malnati’s empowers our people to donate their time by organizing volunteer events at organizations they feel passionate about. For every hour team members spend volunteering, Lou Malnati’s donates $10 back to that organization.

At the end of the day, our teams assembled meals for children in need and Lou Malnati’s donated more than $100 to Feed My Starving Children!

KINDNESS ROCKS!

The holidays bring people together and this year they’re bringing our Naperville location, 131 W Jefferson Ave, together with three of our Jefferson Ave neighbors, Anderson’s Bookshop, Anderson’s Toyshop, and Gotskind’s for “4 Gifts 4 the Holidays.” Customers can stop by Anderson’s Bookshop to pick up a card to have signed after making a purchase at all four participating businesses. We will make a donation to Loaves & Fishes Community Services for each purchase.

The partnership is inspired by the four gifts concepts of giving something you want (Anderson’s Toyshop), something you need (our pizza), something to wear (Gotskind’s), and something to read (Anderson’s Bookshop).

Loaves & Fishes Community Services is an organization that serves the Naperville community with a vision to end hunger and transform lives in the community. You can learn more about the organization at https://www.loaves-fishes.org.

We’re excited to partner with our neighbors to help support the Naperville community!

On Friday, June 29th, our Broadview carryout provided lunch for Camp #wecantoo.

Camp #wecantoo is a day-long leadership event that brings in women to talk about their careers and experiences with 11-15 year old girls.  It was a great day of learning, and of course … pizza!

We’re excited to continue to be a part of the Broadview community!

On Thursday, May 10th, our Oswego carryout competed during the first ever Oswego East High School Band & Choir Pizza Wars.
