Peet's Coffee & Tea announced the opening of 16 new stores throughout the Chicago market in a phased rollout this fall.

The new flagship store, located at 20 N. Michigan Ave., opened today.

"Chicago is one of the most distinguished culinary towns in the U.S., and we're excited to further expand Peet's into a community that truly appreciates and embraces the high quality standards and level of commitment we put into crafting our coffee," said Dave Burwick, president and CEO of Peet's Coffee & Tea, in a company press release. "With today's opening of our Michigan Avenue flagship, we're unveiling a new, contemporary store experience that not only highlights the art and passion of our coffee making, but also connects to the history and spirit of Chicago."

Chicago is part of Peet's aggressive U.S. expansion effort that began last year, which will bring its store total to nearly 300 locations nationwide by the end of the year.
