Thorntons has announced the opening of its New Chicagoland store— and its 95th location in the state of Illinois. The store, located at 9115 Kingery Highway, will open on October 4. The company now operates a total of 75 stores in the Chicagoland area. This new 4,400 square-foot facility is set on 1.8 acres and features several amenities to serve on-the-go Guests including:
- Self-checkout to drive a faster and more efficient Guest experience
- LED lighting for Guest and Team Member safety and energy efficiency
- Freshly made burritos and sandwiches and delicious fresh baked pizza prepared throughout the day in the store’s onsite kitchen
- Variety of top-of-the-line beverages, including fresh bean-to-cup coffee and ice-cold fountain beverages with nugget ice
- 20 auto fueling positions
Thorntons invites the community to be part of our grand opening celebration on October 4. During this time and while supplies last, Guests who enter the new store will receive a Thornton gift card which they can immediately scan at the register to determine the value. One lucky Guest will win a $1,000 gift card. In addition, there will be music, games, and giveaways.
Thornton’s leadership will present Northern Illinois Food Bank with a $2,500 donation. This contribution is in honor of the new store opening and is part of Thorntons’ ongoing commitment to help feed the hungry in all of the communities where it operates.
Thorntons, part of the BP portfolio, operates more than 200 stores that provide high-quality fresh foods, beverages, and fuel in six states: Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Florida. Thorntons’ mission is to be people’s favorite place to stop when they are on the go and people’s favorite place to work. Thorntons has its own transportation fleet and food commissary. Thorntons has a passion for giving back to the communities where Guests and Team Members live and work. Thornton volunteers make their communities better through community service, humanitarian day events, and fundraising projects.
