LFI Real Estate has announced the grand opening of their ninth Illinois Wild Fork food emporium, the latest location set in Vernon Hills. 

The new Wild Fork is located at 890 N Milwaukee Ave, near the Hawthorne Mall, in the building that used to be a Denny’s restaurant. The redeveloped space has an additional 490 square feet and plans to add a tenant to the space next door in the near future, according to a press release from LFI Real Estate. 

"Hawthorne Mall is integral to Vernon Hills' development plan, and we are thrilled to contribute to its growth by bringing Wild Fork to the forefront," LFI Spokesperson Rimas Grabliauskas said. "Vernon Hills, get ready to sizzle with excitement as Wild Fork opens its doors! It's not just a store; it's a culinary adventure waiting to unfold right in your neighborhood. It was a pleasure getting to work with the Wild Forks’ team to make this development come to fruition!”.
