For his October 2024 local business highlight, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) chose to highlight Ziggie’s Family Restaurant in Mendota. Rep. Fritts spent time touring the business and presented the owners with a certificate of appreciation for their contributions to the community.
“This month, I chose to honor Ziggie’s Family Restaurant because of their hard work and dedication to helping others,” said Rep. Fritts. “Ziggie’s is a staple in our community, and they do so much to give back.”
Ziggie’s Family Restaurant is a third-generation family-owned business, first founded in 1972 by Ziggie. It was bought by his nephew Musa Zendeli in 1984 and passed down to his son, and current owner Benny and his wife Vjolca in 2015.
Rep. Fritts continued, “It is no easy task to run a small, family-owned restaurant, especially during hard times like the COVID-19 pandemic. I commend Benny and Vjolca for their commitment to Ziggie’s and for their continued contributions to our community. Whether it’s working alongside the local chamber of commerce, supporting Boy and Girl Scout troops, or even providing meals to the Mendota Fire Department during the Mendota fires, Ziggie’s truly uplifts our community.”
Ziggie’s Family Restaurant is located at 1212 1st Avenue in Mendota. For more information, visit their website at ZiggiesRestaurant.com.
