New faces take over Glenview Corner Bakery as Chicago chain grows

A suburban Chicago café just got a fresh start under new owners Chad and Brittany Moore, who now run the Glenview Corner Bakery location. The couple brings years of food service experience to the job, including stints in a family-run business and a busy deli in Los Angeles. Their connection to the brand goes back to California, where they first encountered Corner Bakery Cafe. When they moved to the Chicago area, they saw a chance to own a piece of a brand they already liked.Corner Bakery Cafe isn’t new to the region. It began in downtown Chicago back in 1991 and still operates in the city and surrounding suburbs. With 13 locations in the Chicago area alone, the chain has deep roots in the community. The Moores aren’t just taking over an existing spot—they’re joining a brand that’s been building its presence for decades. What makes this move interesting is how the Moores plan to run the café. They talk about focusing on better food quality, stronger neighborhood ties, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers. Owning a franchise isn’t just about profits—it’s about shaping a local spot into something people feel proud to support. Whether they can pull that off remains to be seen, but their background suggests they’re serious about making it work.
