Chicago, IL, August 3, 2026 —
Ann Sather Restaurants, a well-known Chicago dining establishment, is set to acquire the former Stella’s Diner space located at 3042 N. Broadway in the city’s Lakeview neighborhood.
The decision for Stella’s Diner to cease operations at this location and for the property to be sold was a personal one made by the owner, Marvin Barsky. This transition is not connected to a recent temporary closure Stella’s Diner experienced due to a health inspection.
Representatives for Ann Sather Restaurants have indicated plans to undertake renovations at the 3042 N. Broadway address. The company aims to reopen the location under the Ann Sather banner, with a target opening date in October.
Further details regarding the specific renovation plans or the menu offerings at the new Ann Sather location have not yet been provided.
