According to a recent article from the Daily Herald, Guzman y Gomez aims to expand to Vernon Hills at 701 N Milwaukee Avenue.
“The fifth Guzman y Gomez in the Chicago area recently opened in Deerfield with a sixth coming to Evanston in March. The publicly traded company debuted in Naperville in early 2020 and followed with locations in Schaumburg, Crystal Lake and Buffalo Grove.”
“It will probably be more of our 11th or 12th store at the end of the day,” Jason Trombley, head of U.S. Development for Guzman y Gomez, recently told the village board, according to the Daily Herald article. “The goal is to have 15 to 20 stores in Chicago.”
“The concept is all about food first, people second and community and culture third,” he said in the article. “It’s high-quality, restaurant quality food just made fast.”
Guzman y Gomez’s website tells us more: “GYG’s commitment to reinvent fast food continued to inspire new ways to serve fresh Mexican food to everyone. From the first drive-thru in 2015 to menu innovations like Breakfast, the Minis range, and GYG’s signature Chiptole-Seasoned Fries, and even a market-leading app for guests to pay & order ahead and earn loyalty points – the GYG love just kept spreading!”
