Venue Information

The Rizzo Family has a long history in the Chicago dating back to 1946 at a time when Wrigleyville was unrecognizable from the Wrigley that we all know and love today. Our Family business began with Vincent Angelo Rizzo, the son of Vincent Rizzo; an Italian immigrant from Sicily. Cubs Park Service Station (CPSS) started as a Mobile Oil Gas Station with an adjoining Auto Repair Shop & Car Wash. As the community around Lakeview developed, so did our business. CPSS began parking for Cubs & Bears games for fans & players alike. Legends like Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Glen Beckert, Dallas Green, Fergie Jenkins, Joe Amalfitano, Bob Will, Jim Fry & Lou Canela were not just regulars, they were friends. This turned the neighborhood parking lot into a hangout for the Rizzo’s and their constituency. Cousins, uncles and friends all worked at the lot throughout the course of 4 generations.
