We’ve got big news to share! Mr. B’s is moving locations! 🚚

Our time in the American Wellness building has been nothing short of amazing, and we are so grateful for Gina, who took a chance on us in the very beginning of Mr. B’s Chicken Salad. However, we have outgrown our little space on the south side of Morton and are ready to expand!

We will be closed this Saturday (6/20) and next Tuesday (6/23) to begin moving to our new location.

This move will bring so many new opportunities for Mr. B’s and we can’t wait to share them with all of you.

Thank you for being a part of our journey so far, we hope to see you soon!
