Former Detroit Red Wing star Chris Chelios says he's sold his bar, Cheli's Chili at 47 E. Adams, next to Comerica Park, to the Ilitch organization.

"I moved," said Chelios, who hung out at Cheli's Chili on Saturday on the last day of business, reports George Hunter of The Detroit News. "I decided to go back to Chicago to take care of my mom."

"The Ilitches purchased it from me, and they're looking for tenants," Chelios said. "I'm sure whatever this place becomes will still be great."

Chelios opened the place in 2005.

While Chelios says the Ilitch organization is looking for a new tenant, the organization seems to always be looking for new parking lots in the area. Could it turn into a lot? Time will tell.
