Layla & Ringo's

Layla & Ringo’s and DJ’s Great Room are coming to River North | Eater Chicago

"Somewhat inspired by Foxtrot — “at least the best version of the corner store chain that’s mounted a comeback since ceasing operations during the spring of 2024” — this concept is described by Morton as “It’s our version of a third place that blends groceries, prepared meals, and everyday essentials with coffee and pastries.” Additionally, there will be home and work essentials available as well as private rooms for work-related activities, and room service will be available for residents. Local design group Siren Betty is overseeing the expansive interiors, which Morton describes as “airy and easy breezy,” and HiFi is doing the branding work. The venue is planned for early 2025 at 920 N. Wells Street as part of JDL Development’s North Union on the Moody Bible Institute campus, a sprawling $1.3 billion, 8.1-acre development that includes more than 2,600 residential units across seven high rises." - Lisa Shames
