INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR IRVANA K. WILKS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 16, 2007
SUBJECT: DAE JANG KIM KOREAN RESTAURANT
(CURRENTLY SHIN JUNG RESTAURANT)
1747 W. GOLF ROAD
REQUEST FOR "CLASS S" LIQUOR LICENSE
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
On Wednesday, August 15 2007, the Village Manager met with Attorney Jae Choi Kim and
applicants Eric, Kwan and Hyun Kim who are currently under contract to purchase the assets
and goodwill of Shin Jung Restaurant. A "Class S" liquor license is currently issued to Shin
Jung. The Kim's are seeking approval for a change of ownership. A "Class S" designation
provides for full service alcohol in a restaurant with a lounge facility.
Eric Kim, the son, is the chief investor and 100% shareholder for Blue Breeze Inc. d/b/a Dae
Jang Kim Korean Restaurant. The father, Kwan Kim, is President of the corporation and will be
the active restaurant manager. He has successfully completed a certified Liquor Servers
program and holds a certified Food Service Manager's certificate. Hyun Kim, the mother, will be
the head chef of the restaurant. She has over twenty years of restaurant experience both in
South Korea and numerous restaurants in the Chicagoland area. She also holds several
certifications for food service and sanitation. The menu will consist of family style Korean
cuisine. The restaurant will be open seven days a week, offering a lunch and dinner menu.
Depending on the future success of the business, a breakfast menu may also be offered. Upon
closing the transaction the Kim's intend to close the restaurant for approximately one week for
the purpose of a thorough cleaning and some minor redecorating.
The Village Manager discussed with the applicants the requirements of the Village's Liquor
Code including the need to be mindful of sales to minors as well as obviously intoxicated
persons. The requirements of the Village's Fight Ordinance were also discussed. The Village
Manager also emphasized the need for appropriate controls to be in place to insure that
restaurant employees do not inadvertently violate code requirements. The Kim's indicated they
understood their obligations in this regard.
A completed application along with fees and most required documentation are on file. The Kim's
have submitted to the required background checks and fingerprinting. If the Village Board views
this application favorably, a motion authorizing a change in ownership would be in order.
Assuming approval, the liquor license would be issued once final documentation has been
received.
