The morning after Big Mario's Northlake Tavern reopened following a seven-month renovation, windows were smashed and money was stolen from the business. The robbery occurred at approximately 4 a.m. on Thursday morning. In addition to breaking the windows, the business's safe was breached. The company said the grand re-opening was a success, with hundreds of pizza lovers stopping by for a slice over the course of the day. "It was great, we had a lot of people come through, from open to close. It was a mixed audience all day long, from old Northlake customers, Big Mario's customers, we were very happy with it, and it was, it went pretty smoothly," said Jason Lajeunesse, owner of Big Mario's. Lajeunesse said the Northlake Tavern's neighbors texted him around 4 a.m. to let him know the second-story windows had been broken in. When he arrived at the restaurant around 8 a.m. this morning, he discovered the burglar had gotten away with a little over $1,000.
