'Who has this much kombucha?' Pete’s Fresh Market charts ambitious suburban expansion.
It recently opened its 14th store, in a former Whole Foods Market in Wheaton, and has new stores coming to Glen Ellyn and Lemont this fall. Four additional stores — in Matteson, New Lenox, Oak Park and Oak Lawn — are slated to open over the next two to three years.
