Peru residents will have another restaurant option this week, as Waves at South Shore will open under the ownership of Mark and Nick Ross.

The couple announced they would be the new owners a week after the Sept. 1 closure of Quickie Subs in La Salle.

The couple now will operate Waves at South Shore, 2380 Water St., Peru. The restaurant will serve Quickie Subs’ items, such as Italian Beef, meatballs, banana pudding and frosted brownies, among other items.

Mark Ross said they moved because its former location made it difficult to keep up with demand and the event space there created an issue with parking on the weekends.

“It was a situation that wasn’t going to get any better,” he said. “We had an opportunity to move and we made a move to a better location with more storage and a full kitchen and we’re extremely happy for that.”

Ross said the expanded kitchen allows for more menu items, such as grilled chicken sandwiches, burgers and nachos. The owners plan to offer Taco Mondays.

Owner Mark Ross moved from Dallas to open Quickie Subs with his husband Nick (Langloss) Ross, a graduate of La Salle-Peru High School, in June.

Waves will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
