New OPTIMO Branch?

[RHY]

It was mentioned in a recent article about OPTIMO Hats opening a new branch in Chicago. Is there any information on this possibility?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

It is really happening. The new location is near the intersection of Deerborn & Jackson in The Loop.

Worth & Worth opened a shop just around the corner from there in the mid-90s and it failed miserably. Let's hope Optimo fares better.

Is that near the Dearborn Station, home of Adams Ribs?
We can see if they will still fly orders to Korea!

Don't forget the cole slaw

Oh man, we gotta make sure we don't do that again!

I totally get the M*A*S*H reference!

One of the classic episodes!

Larry often slipped a Chicago reference into his scripts as an homage to his hometown. He was a very talented writer and a joy to spend time with.

Back on topic: When's the new branch supposed to open?

 

[Wojo]

It's supposed to be in the Monadnock Bldg. bordered by
Jackson, Dearborn, Federal and Van Buren
Will be seeing Tiffany on saturday. Will try to get details and post.

Yes, I assumed it would be a inexpensive suite in the Monadnock rather than a pricey space at street level. The W&W store was 3,000 sqf on the corner of LaSalle and Adams. What were they thinking......

Actually it's a street level store near a custom tailor and a custom shoe repair shop, as well as a high-end women's store.

You know what they say about assuming, right?
