Blue Bottle Coffee is planning to open a coffee shop in Chicago, which would make the Windy City the second new market for the craft coffee company since it was acquired by Nestle in 2017.
The Blue Bottle Chicago location is expected to open in the Wolf Point East apartment tower in the River North neighborhood, with a 400-foot outdoor patio. Other locations are expected to follow in the city, according to a Chicago Tribune report.
“It’s also our number one city in terms of number of Blue Bottle Coffee at-home subscribers who don’t yet live near a cafe, so we wanted to bring our cafes to them,” the company said in a press release obtained by the Tribune.
