LITH Resident to Open Drive-Through Tobacco Shop in McHenry

The McHenry City Council approved a conditional use permit for the business on Monday.

A Lake in the Hills resident is hoping to open a drive-through tobacco shop on Route 120 in McHenry by the end of this month, according to a Northwest Herald article. 

The McHenry City Council on Monday voted 5-2 in favor of a conditional use permit for Syed Najmuddin of Lake in the Hills to open the drive-thru business at 3706 West Elm Street in McHenry.

The business would take the place of the former Bear Creek Coffee kiosk along Route 120, which closed because of financial difficulties, according to the article.
