Belli's

10 years, 3 relocations, & 7 storefronts later, we are days away from our 10 Year anniversary month.

And just like the fresh & organic ingredients we use daily, even businesses have an expiration date. Ours is finally here.

Celebrate 1️⃣0️⃣ years of memories with us & one more month to indulge in your favorite Belli’s items before they may be gone forever…

While Alex (the owner) is planning to relocate from Chicago, we are hoping to keep the Belli's spirit alive as we continue to search for new ownership. So we are sharing this amazing opportunity with anyone who might be interested! Our brand is not for sale but our space is & ready to go for the next business owner along with our smoothies & cold pressed juices. We’d like to keep it locally owned while offering quality food, & staying health conscious as a community space for years to come - so please share!

We look forward to revealing more details on new ownership in the coming weeks 🤞

Until then, stop in and stock up on your favorite items 🧃 🥤 🍊

We are currently open weekdays until 4pm, Saturday: 8am-3pm & Sunday: 9am-3pm.

See you soon 💚

And a little way back Wednesday to 1️⃣0️⃣ years ago this month, when we were finalizing the business plan before opening in October 2013. The business still didn't have a name at the time - and when the owner Alex started researching business concepts that were similar to her project to bring healthy food options to the community she lived in, she came across Louis’ grocers, a nonprofit grocery store that operated in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. Louis grocers had a shared mission to increase access to fresh, healthy food & Alex was determined to follow a similar business model with her project that still had no name. After discovering Louis’ grocer was named after the founder’s french bulldog, Louis, Alex was inspired to also name the business after the french bulldog she had rescued, Belli. And that's how the name Belli's came to be!
Although our namesake founder Belli passed away peacefully in 2020, we are excited to share our newest shop dog- in-training, Marley! Feel free to say hi as she learns the ins and outs of how to be a good (outside) greeter for our guests. 👋
