OWNERSHIP

​

Marilyn Chinn LeTourneau - In 1982, Marilyn jumped at the opportunity to open a restaurant with her father, Bob. Over three decades later, Bob Chinn's Crab House is a Chicagoland institution, with Marilyn still at the helm. From hand writing the very first menus to planning employee giveaways and celebrations, Marilyn has been instrumental in the success of this company and its teammates. 

​

Carly LeTourneau - Arriving less than a year after Bob Chinn's opened its doors, Carly was truly born into the family business. Throughout her life, she has worked in virtually every station of the restaurant - from dishwashing to serving. Carly's commitment to carrying on her family's legacy can be seen in her passion for all things Crab House. 

​

Maile LeTourneau - With the addition of the back and side porch area of the restaurant, so too came an addition to the Chinn/LeTourneau family. Maile was born as the success of the Crab House was really taking off. Loving the restaurant life, Maile always believed she would one day take over the family business. She enjoys  the fast-paced environment of the dining room.
