DALLAS, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Corner Bakery Cafe® is pleased to announce the grand reopening of its Accenture Tower location at 500 W Madison on Monday, March 24. Conveniently located on the second floor of the Ogilvie Transportation Center, this cafe brings back its signature made-to-order breakfast, gourmet sandwiches, savory soups, and handcrafted salads to serve the bustling commuter hub and nearby office workers.

To celebrate the reopening, the first 100 guests in line will receive a branded travel tumbler along with free coffee refills for a year. Additionally, guests will have the chance to enter two special drawings: one for Free Paninis for a year and another for a Catering Corner Classic Order for their next event. A traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring the brand's iconic Cinnamon Creme Cake-cutting, will take place at 2 p.m.

"Corner Bakery Cafe was founded in Chicago, and we are proud to continue growing in the city where it all began," said Erin Hasselgren, president of Corner Bakery Cafe. "Reopening at the Ogilvie Transportation Center allows us to reconnect with the commuters and office workers who have made this location such a success. We can't wait to welcome our guests and continue serving this vibrant community."

Michael Edwards, President & CEO of the Chicago Loop Alliance, will be joining members of the Corner Bakery Leadership Team for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "Corner Bakery is an integral part of the Chicago Loop's dining scene, offering both convenience and quality for those on the go. We are delighted to celebrate this grand reopening and the brand's ongoing commitment to the city," said Edwards.

The Accenture Tower Corner Bakery Cafe joins five other locations in Chicago and marks the fourteenth in Illinois, reinforcing the brand's strong presence in the city where it all began. Chicago boasts the highest concentration of Corner Bakery Cafes in the country, truly living up to its name of being on almost every corner in the Loop.

"We are thrilled to be opening another cafe in our hometown of Chicago inside the Ogilvie Transportation Center," adds Hasselgren. "We opened our Union Station location last summer and we will now be in two of the busiest train stations in downtown Chicago. Chicago is the number two city in the United States, behind New York City, for commuter rail service. We are proud to serve our craveable, fresh and made to order menu items to both regional and national travelers arriving in the great city of Chicago."

Following the grand reopening, the cafe will operate Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
