{Featured} Mariano’s Ravenswood Has Arrived #MyMarianos

A much anticipated new Mariano’s Chicago grocery store just opened @ 1800 W. Lawrence in the Ravenswood neighborhood & I spent some time there on opening day and I must say that it is pretty awesome.

At over 80,000 sq feet, (like wooo) it is the largest Mariano’s in Chicago and it of course has the departments and features that Mariano’s is well known for with that added bonus of some sweet new additions.

Mariano’s has always been more than just a grocery store to me.  It is a lifestyle experience with plenty of places to sit, eat, drink, relax and be social and has lots of perks that truly upgrade grocery shopping.

Some of the highlights of Ravenswood store include:

 – A floral department that features over 30 varieties of flowers – 

-Nob’s Wine Bar, named for the owner and his wife and isn’t that the coolest light fixture?
And I always love the live piano playing @ Mariano’s-

-An Oyster Bar with fresh oysters and specialty seafood dishes-

-A Luxury Wine Wall that features over 1,000 wines!!!-

-A Sweet Shoppe & Bakery where you can get freshly dipped candy apples, 

gourmet popcorn and so much more.

These had me licking my lips. 

I love all of the pretty decorations, they just scream buy me and eat me!

As if the highlights above were not enough to make you excited to visit, this location also has two grill stations where they will prepare your meat and seafood items on site at no additional charge AND a dietitian is available for nutrition consultations, health screenings and so much more.

Mariano’s also offers a rewards card that provides you with exclusive savings, allows you to create shopping lists, watch cooking videos online and other benefits.

You can learn more about Mariano’s here and get social with them out on twitter, facebook and pinterest.
