Wine & Cheese Shop Files Application To Open In Former Shake Rattle & Read Storefront

A public notice sign went up this weekend at the former Shake Rattle & Read storefront (4812 North Broadway) saying that "Provisions Uptown" has applied for a package liquor license at that location. (Apparently the previous deal for a store associated with Independent Spirits at that location fell through.)

Someone with knowledge of the process says it is a "high-end wine and cheese shop" and that the store - if it gets its license - would be an offshoot of Rogers Park Provisions on Glenwood.

He adds that "Online photos and reviews are very encouraging." A look at RPP's Facebook page has us nodding in agreement.

We understand that there was a meeting with neighbors in the immediate vicinity of the store a couple weeks ago, who gave it their approval.

*Thank you to reader JK for taking the photo of the sign and making us aware of this latest development.
