Schakowsky", "role": "speaking"}]   172 Cong. Rec. E171 Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 39 (Monday, March 2, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 39 (Monday, March 2, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E171] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF HUB'S RESTAURANT ______ HON. JANICE D. SCHAKOWSKY of illinois in the house of representatives Monday, March 2, 2026 Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hub's Restaurant in Skokie, a family-owned establishment whose history began on March 1, 1976, when brothers Tony and John Thanoukos purchased the restaurant and began building what would become a lasting institution. From the outset, Tony and John worked together to grow the business, providing high-quality Greek and American food and establishing a reputation for consistency, value, and welcoming service. Their partnership laid the foundation for a family legacy that has now spanned five decades. In the mid-1990s, the brothers divided the business, with Tony leading operations in Skokie and John leading operations in Chicago. While the locations went their separate ways, the shared family history dating back to 1976 reflects the joint effort that built the Hub's name. For 50 years, Hub's in Skokie has provided jobs, supported community events, catered gatherings large and small, and served as a place where neighbors and families come together. Its longevity reflects the dedication of the Thanoukos family and the loyalty of the community it has served. Reaching a 50-year milestone is a momentous achievement for any business. The Thanoukos family and the entire Hub's team should take great pride in this accomplishment. On behalf of the residents of Illinois' 9th Congressional District, I congratulate the Thanoukos family and the entire Hub's team on this anniversary. I wish them continued success in the years ahead. ____________________
