❤️ HAPPY BOSS’S DAY TO THE MVP OF HAWTHORNE’S BACKYARD AND OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY! ❤️

Some people are bosses. Others are the reason a place feels like family. Lou is both.

From financially supporting more charitable organizations than we could ever name, to donating his time (and even his hair!) to causes close to his heart, Lou has always been willing to show up, step up, and give back.

But what makes him truly special goes beyond the generosity. It’s the way he genuinely cares about the people around him. Our staff, our customers, our neighbors — he treats them like family, because to him, that’s exactly what they are.

Lou, your impact reaches far beyond the walls of Hawthorne’s Backyard. You make a difference in this community in ways big and small, often without asking for recognition or expecting anything in return.

Today, we get to celebrate YOU. Thank you for your big heart, your generosity, your ridiculous amount of community spirit, and for reminding us that being a great boss is about so much more than running a business.

We’re lucky to have you, Lou. West Chicago is lucky to have you. And we’re proud to call Hawthorne’s Backyard home because of you. ❤️

Happy Boss’s Day to the one and only Lou Kopinski!
