Sandy's Addison, Illinois

Sandy's Addison, Illinois

Sandy's fan John Schulkins remembers Sandy's Addison, Illinois location! Addison was most likely Sandy's #62. This location does not appear on the final 1973 Sandy's list so sadly it may have closed before the Hardees buyout. Thankfully John has given us information that it remained a successful restaurant at least through the early 1990's! Addison Sandy's probably opened in early 1963.

Hey this brings back memories. I was living in Addison, Ill. when Sandy's opened. I remember the night of the famous drug bust when some of my older brother's friends were arrested and sent to jail or the army. This location was the scene for many fights and was our local hang out for many years. The last Manager I knew was my neighbor. His name was George Michelin. He had a son my age. I knew a lot of guys that worked there but doubt if anyone would have any memorabilia. After the Addison location closed it was bought by Mickey Sangiacomo. His family owned a popular hot dog stand in Bellwood, Ill. I actually worked there in the early 80's and opened Mickey's # 4 in Glendale Heights, Ill. He sold all the Mickey's locations in the early 90's. I have to say my friends and I were original Sandy's pioneers. Not a day went by that we didn't stop in for a burger. thanks for the memory!
