Roundy’s Supermarkets Inc., the Milwaukee-based high-end supermarket chain, is opening its first Chicagoland location today. Mariano’s Fresh Market, on Northwest Highway in downtown Arlington Heights, will focus on fresh food and high-end offerings, including homemade gelato and an on-site sushi chef. The store will also have an imported Italian oven for pizzas and offer wines and cheeses.
“We’re a one stop shop that will satisfy the diverse and particular needs of our valued clientele,” CEO Bob Mariano said in a statement.
Roundy’s Supermarkets, Inc. is a $4 billion company, operating 155 retail grocery stores and 90 pharmacies under Pick ‘n Save, Copps, Rainbow, Metro Market and Mariano’s names in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.
While Arlington Heights will have the first location, there are four more in the works. A secondĀ Mariano’s Fresh Markets will open on East Randolph Street, near Millennium Park, next spring. The company has also signed leases for locations in Vernon Hills, North & Clybourn, where the New City YMCA once stood, and on 39th and State Sts. in Bronzeville.
