TL;DR

Tropical Smoothie Cafe has announced the opening of a new location in Chicago's Logan Square, owned and operated by multi-unit franchisees Cesar Coronado and Marion Sullivan. The new cafe is the 12th location for Coronado and Sullivan in the Chicago area, with additional locations in development.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe, the largest smoothie chain in the United States*, announced the opening of a new cafe in Chicago, Illinois. Located directly across from the Logan Square Blue Line station at 2620 N Milwaukee Ave., the newest cafe will officially open its doors on June 27 with a Grand Opening celebration where guests can enjoy 50% off entire orders all day long.

To celebrate the grand opening, the Logan Square Tropical Smoothie Cafe team will give away 10,000 free smoothies throughout the local community leading up to and following opening day. As part of the initiative, local businesses throughout Logan Square can sign up to receive complimentary smoothie drop-offs for their teams through the request form.

Chicago-area Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchisees Cesar Coronado and Marion Sullivan own and operate the Logan Square location in addition to 11 other cafes throughout Chicagoland, including locations in Streeterville, The Loop, South Loop, and Evanston. With additional Chicagoland cafes already in development, the duo continues expanding the brand’s footprint across the market.

“Logan Square has such a strong sense of community and energy, which made it a natural fit for our next cafe,” said Coronado. “We look forward to becoming part of the neighborhood, connecting with local residents and businesses, and creating a spot where people can stop in for fresh, flavorful food and smoothies throughout the day.”

The new cafe is designed to serve consumers looking for fast, convenient meal options while on the go, working, or exploring the neighborhood. The location will feature self-order kiosks and grab-and-go convenience to support quick ordering and efficient service for guests on the move.

With no other Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations in the immediate area, the new location is positioned to become a go-to destination for better-for-you food and smoothies. Guests can enjoy the brand’s tropical-inspired menu featuring made-to-order smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, and quesadillas. The offerings deliver a convenient option for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack. Franchisees Coronado and Sullivan also plan to play an active role in the local community by partnering with neighborhood organizations and supporting local programs.

The entire Logan Square community, along with Tropical Smoothie Cafe fans old and new, are encouraged to join in the celebration during the Grand Opening.
