Ivivva by Lululemon expanding to 1000 sq. ft. in its current location at Roscoe and Southport. This will most likely occur by late fall or early winter when Fleet Feet opens.
Coobah closing and the former Candyality and Coobah buildings will be torn down for this mixed use retail development. Coobah closes on August 17 and the Lakeview Chamber is leasing out Candyality through August. Timing for redevelopment is currently unknown, but we wouldn’t be surprised if construction starts this fall.
