Inscription.
South Loop Market was established in 2009 by two brothers who were local residents since 2007. Their concept was born after they grew frustrated with having to deal with large crowds and long lines at the nearest big-box grocer only to purchase a handful of items. Convinced that many of their neighbors shared the same frustration, they decided a local market was simply a necessity. Thanks to the tremendous support from the South Loop residents, the company expanded. Today there are four locations throughout the South Loop, as well as other neighborhoods. Each location providing its local community the opportunity to purchase quality, essential, and specialty items in a convenient and welcoming environment. , , Thank you for your ongoing support!
