Opening Date Set For Pete's Fresh Market In Orland Park

ORLAND PARK, IL — The wait is nearly over for fans of Pete's Fresh Market, with an opening date now set for the Orland Park location.

The 65,000-square-foot store at 15080 S. LaGrange Road will open Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 9 a.m., the company announced on social media Tuesday.

Founder Jimmy Dremounas, along with daughters and executive officers Vanessa and Stephanie Dremonas, add the Orland Park location to its roster of 18 others currently open. Four others are still in progress, including in Tinley Park, New Lenox, Palos Heights, and Oak Park, according to the company's website.

The Feb. 5 grand opening event will feature giveaways including TVs, gift cards, and one year of free groceries, the company said.

"Shoppers at this location will enjoy the same features Pete's customers have grown to love—fresh produce, world-class meat & seafood, a huge selection of name-brand & specialty grocery items, and tempting hot foods served daily," the company wrote.

Started in the early 1970s as "a small, full-service produce stand on the south side of Chicago," the grocer chain remains a family-owned business with stores featuring fresh produce, full-service kitchens, bakery, deli, and in-house butchers.

The Orland Park location takes over space previously occupied by Art Van Furniture. The chain first announced it would be coming to Orland Park in September 2020. Prior to the location being a furniture store, it was a Dominick’s grocery store that closed in October of 2011.
