Rookies Schaumburg

11/05/2026

Sneak peek alert 👀🔥
We couldn’t keep this one to ourselves any longer. Our brand new floors at Rookies Schaumburg are officially IN, and they’re even wilder in person. Every swirl of red, blue, gold and purple was poured by hand, so no two spots look the same.

Huge shout out to Michael Moreno of Chi Resin Custom Coatings for bringing this vision to life. The man is an artist and the floor is his canvas. 🎨

Big things are coming in Schaumburg. Stay tuned… 👇

🎀💗 THAT'S A WRAP ON DRINK PINK 2026! 🍹💕
And WOW… what an amazing month of PINK! 🙌💖

Thanks to our incredible customers, dedicated staff, and amazing communities, we are SO PROUD to announce that together we raised a grand total of...
🎉💗 $2,995 FOR GAVERS BREAST CENTER! 💗🎉

That's 2,995 Mai Tais poured with a purpose! 🍹💪
A HUGE shoutout to ROOKIES CRYSTAL LAKE for taking the top spot in our final week with 79 PINK MAI TAIS SOLD! 🍹👏 Way to finish strong, Crystal Lake crew!

But the REAL winners are the patients and families who benefit from the incredible work being done at Gavers Breast Center. 💕 To everyone who ordered a Mai Tai, encouraged a friend to participate, shared our posts, or helped spread the word about breast cancer awareness… YOU made a difference!

This fundraiser was about so much more than selling Mai Tais. It was about coming together as a community, raising awareness, supporting breast health, and showing that even the smallest actions can make a BIG impact.
