After hosting locations in Los Angeles, Austin and New York, the traveling Pop Up Grocer concept is coming to Chicago for the month of May. Setting up inside a Wicker Park storefront (1555 N Milwaukee Ave), the shop will stock more than 400 products, with a focus on innovative brands that offer plant-based and sugar-conscious food and beverages, in addition to home, pet and body products.
The bright and colorful space will likely attract plenty of folks stopping by to snap a photo, but shoppers will find a selection of items that they likely haven't seen on the shelves of their usual grocery store. Pop Up Grocer stocks everything from baked chickpea thins from 34 Degrees to paleo-friendly cookie mixes from Chicago-based brand Lee's Grain-Free. Plus, the pop-up also features an in-store cafe serving baked goods from Elske, including a daily selection of cookies, Kringles and Danish rugbrød.
If your shelves are looking a little bare and you're hoping to stock up on some interesting new snacks, Pop Up Grocer will be in Wicker Park through May 30.
