Totto's Market Coming to New Retail Space in the Heart of Printers Row

There has been a lot of discussion around the urban mansion being built at the corner of Dearborn and Polk.  One thing that was part of the mystery was what (if anything) was coming to the first floor retail space.

Well it appears we have an answer:

From the owner via Facebook Hello South Loop:

My name is Scott Perin. I'm the owner of (soon-to-be-opened) Totto's Market.

I've lived in Printer's Row for over 14 years and I'm super excited to bring a neighborhood specialty market to the corner of Dearborn + Polk.

Totto's Market will focus on prepared meals to-go, as well as fresh produce, local bread/pastry, dairy, frozen, beer/wine, floral, and other surprises for you!

We plan to open in late spring. I invite you to sign up for updates at www.tottosmarket.com. I look forward to welcoming you (and all neighbors) to Totto's!

Fun Fact: Totto's is named after my father, Allen "Totto" Perin, who works for a small grocery chain in the northern suburbs. He's worked there for over 60 years!!

If done well, this could be a great addition to the neighborhood.  Looking to forward to seeing this one.
