Thorntons recently celebrated the grand opening of its two newest store locations in the Chicago suburbs. On Sept. 21, the company opened a store located at 28937 West IL Route 120 in Lakemoor, Ill., and on Sept. 28, Thorntons opened a location at 110 West Devon Ave. in Wood Dale, Ill.

With the addition of these locations, Thorntons will operate 163 stores throughout Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee and Ohio.

“We are thrilled about the grand opening of our newest store[s],” said Matt Thornton, CEO of Thorntons.  “Our goal is to provide our customers with a unique shopping experience.  From our world class Coffee, to our high quality fresh food and value priced snack, beverage and grocery products, we hope to delight our customers with an enjoyable one-stop shopping experience.”

Customers can look forward to a clean and friendly environment with high quality foods, such as fresh sandwiches, salads, fruit and more. The new store features a redesigned look with a greater focus on fresh food, fountain drinks and hot beverages. This includes Thorntons’ roller grill bar design featuring “hot off the grill” items like hot dogs, corndogs and more. The stores offer a large variety of hot, cold, and frozen beverages made with 100% filtered watered and are 100% satisfaction guaranteed, as well as frozen Icee flavors, smoothies and the freshest Coffee in town.  The stores also have top quality products at grocery store sizes, competitive prices, as well as, 100% Guaranteed fuel.

Many promotions are planned in the first 30 days following the grand re-opening celebration. Customers can expect free 32-ounce fountain drinks, free 20-ounce coffee, as well as many buy one get one free specials.  Beginning on Saturday, Oct. 9, there will be several door buster giveaways, which include free RedBox DVD rental coupons, free two liters, Thorntons coffee mugs, and more.

The new stores also offer the environmentally-friendly E-85 Flex Fuel. Thorntons has 22 locations throughout the company with E-85 Flex Fuel and plans to expand this product to additional stores in the future.
