Comment on New owners of Cafe Olympic in Crystal Lake discuss plans, transition

As a Crystal Lake native, Rachel Skubiszewski-Mucci has been a patron at Cafe Olympic since she was a little girl. “There’s something magical about this spot,” she said. That is why Skubiszewski-Mucci and two of her friends, Anthony Kern and Rosanna Cermak, said they have been in a “whirlwind” since they officially became the new owners of Cafe Olympic on Tuesday. “It still doesn’t necessarily feel real,” Skubiszewski-Mucci said. Cafe Olympic announced in a Facebook post earlier this month that the diner would be placed under new ownership. “[Former owner] Chris and [wife] Nancy [Angelos] created such a staple of this community,” Skubiszewski-Mucci said, calling them “legends” in Crystal Lake.
