Carmela Wallace described her time in south suburban Homewood as special for her and her son Jarad Anthony Higgins, better known to millions as rapper-singer Juice WRLD.
Higgins was happy there, Wallace said, and really cherished his time at Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School, where he established himself as a talented musician.
Wallace and village officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday at the corner of Dixie Highway and Miller Court for the business, dubbed Homewood Brewing Company. The 18,000-plus-square-foot building will feature green spaces, outdoor seating, an event space and game area. Wallace hopes the brewery can help catapult other local artists to the heights reached by her son. Local artists will be able to showcase their work at the brewery, Wallace said, adding that Corey Pane, who painted a mural memorializing Juice WRLD in Chicago, will create another mural outside the brewery.
Wallace, who has an MBA, said she’s worked in the business arena for some time and thought opening a brewery would be a good opportunity to do something different and apply everything she’s learned. "I’m looking forward to serving the people of Homewood."
