Cargo Food Authority, a hot new restaurant concept that opened its first location in the lobby of downtown Minneapolis’ Target Center in late 2018, has announced its second outpost directly outside of Wrigley Field at the corner of Addison and Clark in Chicago’s ever popular Wrigleyville neighborhood. Cargo Food Authority anticipates a summer 2019 opening.
Owned and operated by Williston Holding Company, and designed by Chief Development Officer, Brian Ingram, the outpost will be located in the shadows of historic Wrigley Field. Certain to be one of Chicago’s most Instagrammed locations, the multi-sensory restaurant, bar and live entertainment venue features an in-house brewing system, ivy-covered wall, giant TV wall for watching the games, double-decker bus as the main bar, raised stadium seating, unique sports memorabilia, a pitching cage and a selfie scoreboard.
“Cargo Food Authority is a food-hall style restaurant, bar and live entertainment venue that features repurposed shipping containers, retro-fitted as fully operational kitchens, serving really fun food-truck style food, craft beers, and locally-distilled, craft cocktails on draft,” said Ingram. “Each Cargo Food Authority is custom designed to honor the surrounding community, and as a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, building out this space will be a dream come true.”
