Following success in New York City, Los Angeles, and Austin, Pop Up Grocer is headed to Chicago, opening April 30 in Wicker Park, reports Progressive Grocer. The month-long installation will highlight a variety of products including ones that are Chicago-, women-, and BIPOC-owned.
Pop Up Grocer offers hundreds of products, all of which are natural and most of which are plant-based, across food, beverage, home, pet, and body care categories. Two new categories, baking mixes and non-alcoholic beverages, will be launched in Chicago. In addition, Michelin-starred Elske is the grocer’s café partner, offering a daily selection of cookies and baked goods.
“We select our pop-up locations at the point where demand from our community and demand from our participating brands meet,” said founder Emily Schildt. “Chicago has come as a consistent request from both ever since we launched two years ago, and we are thrilled to bring our best product assortment yet to a city known for its love and appreciation of food, creativity and art.” Full Story
