Algonquin.patch.com reports, “Nick Sarillo sent out a message Tuesday to longtime customers, asking them to help save his business, which, he says, may be going under if things don’t change in coming weeks.”

“He needs more cash to pay the bills. Sarillo is asking that his customers eat more often at his restaurant in Crystal Lake, at 856 Pyott Road, and at his Elgin restaurant, 990 S. Randall Road. Nick’s Pizza in Crystal Lake, open since 1995, is doing better business than the second Nick’s that opened in Elgin in 2005. Both restaurants together employ about 200.”
