Honeygrow, based in Philadelphia, is closing three of its Chicago area units, according to an email to FastCasual from a company spokesperson.
"On Nov., 16th, Honeygrow will be closing their Lake Street and Fulton Market locations in Chicago, in order to focus attention on and ensure the growth of the chain's other 30+ locations," she wrote.
CEO Justin Rosenberg founded Honeygrow in 2012, and it first popped up in Chicago's West Loop last year. It later added a Loop location at 70 E. Lake St., and opened a smaller location in March under the branding of sister chain, Minigrow, at 28 S. Wabash Ave. Those three units will close, but a unit opened earlier this year in suburban Schaumburg will remain open, according to the company.
