New Hard Rock Casino in northern Illinois is a boost for local businesses

With thousands of people in and around the Rockford region all in on the city’s permanent Hard Rock Casino, area establishments also see a boost in business from some of the casino goers.

Rockford’s permanent Hard Rock Casino has been open for less than a month and it’s seen no shortage of people hitting the slots. No matter if they win big or not, some of that money makes its way to nearby businesses.

Catherine Insley is one of the managers at Thunder Bay Grille which is less than a mile away from the Hard Rock Casino. She commutes from Belvidere, a 15-minute drive that can now take 25 minutes, but she says the extra time is worth it.
