The new 4,400-square-foot facility is set on two acres and features a number of amenities, including LED lighting for team member and guest safety as well as energy efficiency. The location also features self-checkout to drive a fast and efficient guest experience.
On the food and beverage side, the Huntley location also offers burritos and sandwiches made fresh in store daily and top-of-the-line beverages.
