Mount Greenwood is one of four proposed Starbucks locations in the Chicago area that Dunkin' Donuts is considering building drive-through stores where the Seattle-based coffee chain had planned to open outposts of its own.
In July Starbucks announced that it would closed 18 Chicago-area outlets, likely killing any plans for its proposed location at the northwest corner of 111th Street and Kedzie Avenue, where a redevelopment project that includes a new Walgreens store has been held up for months.
In the fast-food breakfast and coffee business, Dunkin' Brands Inc. (which has about 500 stores in the Chciago area) is moving ahead with aggressive plans to compete head to head with both McDonald's Corp. and Starbucks.
Crain's Chicago Business has reported that Dunkin' Donuts is negotiating a deal for the site at 3200 W. 111th St., where Starbucks had been planning to build a store of its own.

Skokie-based Terraco Inc., the developer of the site at 3200 W. 111th Street, has declined to provide details of the sudden change.

Shocking!!!! Delayed for months??????How about YEARS! The whole corners redevelopment has been bumbled from the get go. I like Dunkin Donuts better anyway but I am sure they will bail as well. Walgreen's, you should run fast from this sight and build on 111th and Pulaski instead.

Forget about the big Corporations supplying great coffee and muffins. Head on down to Sweet Escapes to enjoy great coffee and made to order breakfast sandwiches, and of course, don't forget to pick up a dozen cupcakes. OPENING IN OCTOBER.

See, Mt Greenwood is a "can do" neighborhood. We don't need special committees or organizations to get the job done. We needed a coffee/sweets shop and someone here in MTG said " I will build it ". A small business built by the people for the people, no red tape, empty promises or City delays.
