DeKALB – A Jersey Mike’s Subs and Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin-Robbins should be open on DeKalb’s west side by April, the developer said Tuesday.

Developer Steve Schwartz of Pearl Street Commercial LLC said construction on the former Lukulos building at 1101 W. Lincoln Highway would begin in January. Schwartz’s special use permit to divide the building, which will keep its drive-up, was approved by the DeKalb City Council, 7-1, on Monday night.

Only 7th Ward Alderwoman Monica O’Leary voted against the measure, but she did not say why during the meeting. In an interview Tuesday, O’Leary declined to detail why she opposed the special use permit.
