Contruction has begun in the rebuilding of Grubsteakers Restaurant at Illinois 251 and Route 64 in rural Rochelle.
The restaurant was destroyed when a tornado traveled through the area on April 9th.
13 people were at the business when the tornado hit the structure. No one suffered any serious injuries.
Foundation work is currently being done on site by workers. Grubsteakers Restaurant owner Ava Mirtoska said that the building will be moved a little from the former location once construction began.
Her plans are to reopen in early 2016.
