When the owner of Pizza Pete in Orland Park announced his retirement, John Skopick decided the family should buy the business for their daughter, Danielle, who has cerebral palsy.
Danielle and John Skopick own and operate Pizza Pete restaurants in Orland Park and Frankfort.
Skopick, who was born with cerebral palsy, was employed at Aurelio’s Pizza in Frankfort, working the phones there throughout her high school years. When the owner of Pizza Pete in Orland Park announced his retirement, John Skopick, her father, decided the family should buy the business, where Danielle and her older sister and younger brother all could work.“It’s been great. I love it. We’re all super close, so it’s been super fun to all be involved with it,” Danielle Skopick said.
John Skopick, who is also an insurance agent, laughed as he recalled answering the phone at home growing up when his younger sister’s friends would call, and saying “Pizza Pete” as a joke.
