The chain with hand-picked fruits and vegetables will serve another neighborhood this year.
A liquor license application was recently submitted for Mendocino Farms coming to 847 W Fulton Market this year. This would be the company’s third location in the Chicago area, still within city limits. As it is early in the development stages, an opening date has not been announced.
The El Segundo, California-based company has locations in The Loop at 233 S Wacker Drive and in River North at 508 N Clark Street. What Now Chicago previously covered Mendocino Farms opening in River North in April last year. No other expansion plans have been announced.
The restaurant is known for their signature sandwiches like the “not so fried” chicken, Peruvian steak and their prosciutto & chicken. Another favorite is the smoky BBQ brioche sandwich with rainbow carrot-apple slaw. Sandwiches, deli sides and soup will also be served at Fulton Market like other locations.
“We first opened our doors in 2005 as a family business with the vision to offer much more than great food—we wanted to build a welcoming gathering place where happiness is always an order away. And we’ve been inviting our guests to Eat Happy ever since,” says the description on their website.
The new spot is at the corner of W Fulton and N Green streets, next to Aba Mediterranean restaurant. Other concepts at the building include Beatrix, Punch Bowl Social, Labriola Italian Specialties and Costera Cocina Tulum. This is on the east side of Fulton Market District, not far from the Morgan CTA station.
A representative from Mendocino Farms told What Now Chicago a press release about the new location will be releasing in the coming weeks.
