Roundy’s banner Mariano’s opened its largest store in Chicago Tuesday in the NewCity development of the Lincoln Park community. The two-story location covers more than 83,000 square feet.
Mariano’s brought several of its signature features to NewCity, such as Todds BBQ, which serves daily smoked brisket, ribs and more, all with a variety of sauces to fit shoppers’ tastes.
The Oyster Bar promises the freshest shucked oysters and specialty seafood dishes.
Oki Sushi is another regular Mariano’s component. “We, of course, have the traditional grocery staples, but with unique features like fresh smoothies, sushi and smoked barbeque, we offer an experience unlike anywhere else,” said Bob Mariano, chairman, president and CEO of Roundy’s.
The SQUEEZ’D smoothie bar showcases a variety of made-to-order fruit and vegetable smoothies, plus Mariano’s special fresh-squeezed orange and other fruit juices.
The VEG’D prepared food station is dedicated to vegetarian and vegan customers. “We are constantly evolving to better serve the needs of our customers, and our store at NewCity is no exception,” Mariano said.
Vero stars premium coffees with on-site, fresh-roasted coffee beans, as well as locally and homemade gelato prepared with traditional Italian techniques.
The specialty cheese and charcuterie shop stocks a variety of regional and international cheeses that can be cut-to-order and specially wrapped, along with an extensive selection of salumis.
The cheese shop comes complete with a hand-pulled mozzarella station…
…and an olive bar.
Mariano’s specialty departments include this extensive selection of spices and salts.
Nob’s Wine Bar is another dedicated space in the NewCity location, the 34th for the Mariano's banner.
