The restaurant lineup in Frankfort’s Historic District is getting a healthy new addition. Avocado Theory is officially moving into Unit 111 of the Trolley Barn multi-tenant commercial building. Taking over the space formerly occupied by Cultivate Community Table, the rapidly expanding brand will offer downtown visitors a fresh menu centered around avocado-based dishes, wellness juices, and smoothies.
Whenever a prime restaurant space opens up in downtown Frankfort, residents immediately want to know what will fill the vacancy. In the case of the Trolley Barn, the Village has successfully secured a tenant that aligns with the growing consumer demand for fresh, health-focused dining options.
What to Expect from Avocado Theory
Avocado Theory already operates successful locations in Naperville, Tinley Park, Lincolnshire, and Wheaton. Their expansion into Frankfort represents a strategic move into one of the south suburbs' most highly sought-after commercial districts.
According to the operational plans submitted to the Village of Frankfort, the restaurant intends to maintain the same general layout utilized by the previous tenant. Customers will place their orders at a counter located near the main entrance, and wait staff will deliver the food directly to their tables. The kitchen operations will remain situated behind the service counter.
The proposed menu is entirely avocado-centric. Diners can expect a wide variety of fresh salads, sandwiches, and bowls, alongside a dedicated menu of wellness juices and smoothies. The restaurant plans to operate from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week, and anticipates hiring approximately 15 employees to staff the Frankfort location.
