Our new home at the Shops at North Bridge will reflect the energy and vibe of this fast-paced section of River North,” said Andrew Schneider, Regional Director for Potbelly. “River North is such a vibrant area buzzing with locals, a fervent workforce, and huge crowds of tourists. We're thrilled to be able to welcome them to a shop that will be extremely convenient for so many.”
