Sugar Factory American Brasserie to Celebrate Opening in Rosemont, Ill. Next Month

Sugar Factory American Brasserie will open its first Midwest location in Rosemont, Ill. next month, bringing its internationally-renowned celebrity sweets and signature treats to MB Financial Park.

"There is so much energy and excitement in Rosemont," said Sugar Factory founder and Illinois native, Charissa Davidovici. "The Sugar Factory brand complements the neighborhood so well, and we couldn't be more excited to open our first Chicago outpost at MB Financial Park."

The new 7,000-square-foot brasserie and retail store has the same "MTV meets Willy Wonka" appeal that has made Sugar Factory an international favorite, offering guests an ice cream and coffee shop, two outdoor patios, a main dining room and a chocolate lounge for semi-private dining. Plus, the new Sugar Factory American will offer a variety of its world-famous Couture Pops, which have become a pop culture phenomenon and have made confections a celebrity accessory. Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers, Sting, Charlie Sheen, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Drake are just a few of the celebrities who have either endorsed or have been spotted with the sparkly lollipops.

Created by a team of world-class chefs, menu selections include everything from pancakes and sweet and savory crepes to salads, burgers and flatbreads. Appetizers include bruschetta of the day; fried macaroni and cheese; and mini burgers.
