By Andrew Schlesser

As of Wednesday morning, former owners Joey and Jimmy Sanfilippo have sold Bar One, 1000 W. Lincoln Highway.

A Class A liquor license application was approved for the purchase of the bar, DeKalb City Attorney Norma Guess announced during Tuesday’s liquor commission meeting.

The new owner, Paradise Entertainment Corporation, plans to continue running the bar under the same name, DeKalb City Clerk Donna Johnson said.

Maple Park residents Robert and Nancy Myers own the company.

John Sanfilippo still owns Molly’s Eatery and Drinkery, 1022 W. Lincoln Highway, Johnson said. Molly’s is not for sale at this time.
