JR is loyal to his employees if he likes them.

Loyalty to the fans has been missing, though, these past 40 years.  Bigly!

The one in Berwyn has gone through multiple closing / rebrandings.  He also had a failed music label amongst other things.  His reputation as a business man is pretty poor.

Restaurants are tough to make successful, especially if not chain affiliated. But he probably could of picked a better town for this restaurant than Berwyn.

We went to BHB in Berwyn once. One of the more terrible restaurant experiences I’ve had. 

Always cool to see old players/fan favorites still around on the South Side

Also forget his beer which is / was fucking disgusting.

surprised no one commented about KW's son having a "special assignment" role. There was also another Williams who had a position out in Lisle, but I dont think she's related.

I can second this. I happen to know someone who has had some dealings with one of his ventures, and they were not high on him or his abilities from a professional business level. Frank was a great ball player, but that doesn’t make you good with money or a good business man.
