CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers is
making its move into Chicago's
North Shore today. The Texas-based heritage brand, which has four
popular locations around the city, has just debuted a
3,507-square-foot fast casual restaurant with seating for 109
guests in the sought after Village of Northbrook. Located at
776 Skokie Blvd., the restaurant occupies the much-anticipated
NorthShore770 mixed-use project, which incorporates 347 apartments
and more than 100,000 square feet of retail, anchored by a
Mariano's grocery store. An engaging design scheme, which
references Fuddruckers' classic, Americana origins, sets an
inviting backdrop for a family gathering, work lunch or date
night.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "We're thrilled to be growing
our footprint in the Chicago area
in a prime North Shore location that puts our mouth-watering menu
in the center of one of the city's most exciting new retail and
residential addresses."
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order
burgers feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA
premium-cut beef with no fillers or additives. Delicious,
sesame-topped buns are baked from scratch on-site throughout the
day to achieve the perfect combination of crisp crust and
melt-in-your-mouth texture.
And while burgers are the signature, the engaging menu offers
variety for many tastes with an array of sandwiches, platters and
salads. No matter what they choose, customers can customize
their meal with a trip to the legendary Build Your Own produce bar,
which features fantastic fixings like sun-ripened tomatoes,
lettuce, sliced onions, dill pickles, pico de gallo and classic
cheese sauce.
