News-Democrat

Mayor Mark Eckert announced today that the city will get at least seven new restaurants, including four restaurants in the Belleville Crossing shopping center off Illinois 15 and two restaurants at Green Mount Commons on Carlyle Avenue.

The new restaurants at Belleville Crossing are Wendy's, Arby's, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings, and some of them may be open by the end of the year.

Also, there's a "strong lead" on a White Castle restaurant at that location, Eckert said.

There will be a Wendy's and a Hardee's opening at Green Mount Commons, near the new Wal-Mart Supercenter, by the end of the summer, Eckert said.

Also, a McDonald's is planned for the intersection of Illinois 177 and Green Mount Road and could open by the end of the year.
