Chimera opened in LaGrange. Can't imagine rent is too cheap there. Pretty sure he is doing ok, but not 100% sure.
Haven't heard of Chimera, Andy.
Chimera's Woodridge location just closed (today actually). It was a decent shop, but I'm not sure if there was enough foot traffic in the area to sustain it.
The LaGrange location seems to be doing pretty well, but brick and mortar is a tough business, especially with what appears to be high rents all around Chicagoland.
When I was at the Woodridge location on Wednesday, they did tell me that they are actively pursuing franchising if people were interested to go that route.
