Binny’s in Lincoln Park Expanding to 50,000 Square Feet

by · June 15, 2013

Binny’s, the retail market share leader for wine sales in metropolitan Chicago, is expanding its store near North and Clybourn in Chicago to 50,000 square feet (which is 1.15 acres.)  Binny’s carries little, if any, Midwest regional wine.  However, Binny’s executives told Midwest Wine Press last fall that they would consider adding Midwestern wines if enough customers asked for them.  So, next time you’re in Binny’s, please ask, “Where’s the local wine?”
