HISTORY OF THE SILO

In 1968 general contractors, Gene Bergmark and Karl Skogland, built The Silo restaurant with the intentions of selling it.  At the time, they couldn't find a buyer, so the two men decided to open the restaurant and run it themselves.  They started with Deep Dish Pizza which The Silo is still famous for. In 1984 Gene Bergmark bought out his partner Karl.

In 1988 the Pikes and the Tarmans purchased The Silo from Gene. They remodeled The Silo extensively by adding new doors, windows, floors, outside deck and new bar area. They also gutted the kitchen area and redesigned it to bring in "state of the art" equipment to serve their guests faster. The Pikes and Tarmans also extended the existing menu to include great new Entrees, Sandwiches, Salads, Appetizers, Stuffed Potatoes and Desserts. A huge array of Deep Dish and  Thin Crust Specialty Pizzas were also added.

In 1997 The Pikes sold other restaurants they were involved in and purchased The Tarman's  half interest in The Silo so The Tarmans could retire to Florida.

The Pikes are now enjoying their 18th year at The Silo as it continues to be a popular restaurant well known for its quality and service.
