Now that’s a Spicy… Pickle?
Colorado based Spicy Pickle will be opening a store in Lincoln Park sometime in late spring at 2312 N. Lincoln Ave., just across the street from Children’s Memorial Hospital. Spicy Pickle belongs to the “fast casual” market, the convenience of fast food with a casual dining feel — think Chipotle or Noodles & Company. Primarily a sandwich and salad shop, Spicy Pickle could put a dent in some of the other lunch places, such as Chicago’s own Potbelly or even the Jimmy John's down the street. With some interesting paninis — the Sausalito Bandido sounds interesting — and boasting some 150,000 build-your-own sandwich combinations, Spicy Pickle could be a welcome lunch spot to the neighborhood.
