South Loop Market — Local services in West Chicago Township

We found one of the best gourmet neighborhood markets in the city.

We discovered South Loop Market at 2340 N. California.

This is a family owned business with 5 different locations.

Each location has a deli with cold cut sandwiches and salads, but this is the only location where they sell hot food and burgers.

This market is way better than your average neighborhood market.

They carry everything from pet food to chips and salsa.

They offer fresh produce, groceries, organic and vegan food as well.

If there is something that you forgot for the meal that you are making, or when company arrives unexpectedly, this is the place where you can get everything you need.

They also have a full liquor store with a good selection of wines, both domestic and imported.

There is also a well stocked fridge where you can select the perfect chilled wine or champagne for a byob restaurant or for an at home evening.

You should definitely check out South Loop Market stores.

Can’t say enough about their customer service, everyone is kind and on the ball. Louis and Ray and the others run tight as a navy ship. Support your local stores, these folks are damn good at...

I have had hit or miss experiences with this shop when it comes to food quality. On two separate occasions, I have purchased packaged refrigerated items that were covered in mold a few days after purchase and 4-8 weeks before their “use by” dates; I have a suspicion that they need to tweak their open faced refrigeration settings (or I just have bad luck). So, as long as you stick to frozen or non-refrigerated items you should be ok. I contacted the owners via their website “contact us” feature after the first issue and never got a response but the store employees are...
