In case you missed a post we did a couple of weeks ago about a new place called urban pantry opening up in Printer's Row area. Anyway, the people behind it found our post and gave a little more background about their store and concept:Here at Urban Pantry, we offer a unique grocery shopping experience which sets us apart from other corner grocery stores. We have revamped the corner grocery store business model to create a modern and premier pantry that will suit your urban lifestyle. Here you will find fresh breads and pastries baked in local bakeries, vegetables and fruits grown in local farms along with other grocery essentials.
You can start your morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a cappuccino from South Loop's first Caribou Coffee. You can even end it with a glass of wine selected from our wine cellar. In addition to our long open hours, we also provide the option of online ordering with home delivery and curbside pick-up. The advantage of being a local grocer means you will receive your essentials on the same day and at a time when you are home, not when we have an open slot!
In addition to this online portal, we have launched a unique GBT (Grocery by Text) feature where you can order your groceries by text. With such unique services, we hope that you will find us as a superior alternative to other markets in the Solo. We look forward to becoming an integral part of your daily life!
Sounds interesting to us and we assume it's something peeps in the Printer's Row area are going to love. Although we're a little skeptical about some of the online features, it sounds great although rather ambitious to us. If they can pull it off more power to them.
Best of luck to Urban Pantry and welcome to the Sloop!
