"Scheduled to open in late August at 1823 Church Street (across from Evanston Township High School), this first franchise was chosen after conversations with local residents who felt the suburb still had unmet needs. Run by the Hyde Park general manager, the new location aims to preserve the parent concept’s health-forward, organic-leaning menu while importing some popular items from the owner’s burger brand—such as nachos and gluten-free chicken wings. The owner sees the outlet as a way to offer employee growth opportunities and to present a black‑owned-business role model for African Americans living in the suburbs." - Ashok Selvam
