Vacant Dania Furniture Proposed For 24 Hour Fitness Facility

Algonquin’s Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a special use permit request to go before the Village Board for a 24/7/356 fitness facility in the former Dania Furniture building at 1621 South Randall Road in the village. The proposal includes cutting into the existing building slab for a sauna and lap pool. According to sponsor 24 Hour Fitness, the project will create five full time manager jobs and 50 part time slots for service experts, trainers and exercise instructors, and could serve up to 1,000 members per day.
