HOMEWOOD, ILL. — Krispy Kreme will open a new store in Homewood, approximately 25 miles south of Chicago. The donut franchise will build a ground-up facility on an outparcel to a Home Depot and Jewel-Osco. This store, to be located at 17815 S. Halsted St., will be the first of eight locations opened in the Cook county area. Currently the Chicago area has only one Krispy Kreme store, which is situated in Elk Grove Village. The new Homewood location will be the franchise’s first retail location opened in the Chicago area in seven years. Lynne Brackett and Adam Foret of CBRE represented the landlord in the transaction.
