President Marc Schulman, son of the late legendary Eli Schulman, said the expansion will give the family-owned company some much-needed breathing room.
Eli’s Cheesecake Co. broke ground Tuesday on a $9.5 million expansion of its Northwest Side production facility that will give the iconic Chicago cheesecake-maker space to grow as it builds back from the COVID-19 pandemic.said the expansion will give the family-owned company some much-needed breathing room.“Things were starting to get very tight here,” he said. Eli’s has made cheesecakes at the facility in the Dunning neighborhood since 1996.
Construction at the facility, located at 6701 W. Forest Preserve Drive, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, Schulman said. The 42,000-square-foot addition will bring the production facility up to 104,000 square feet, which will include Eli’s corporate offices as well as the Eli’s Cheesecake Bakery Cafe.
Eli’s has continued to rebound, hiring about 80 people over the last six months. The company is on track to surpass the number of jobs needed to meet employment targets associated with tax incentives it received for the project, which require Eli’s to grow from 225 to 300 employees over two years. “We’ll definitely exceed that,” Schulman said. All Eli’s employees are based in Chicago.
