Antioch’s newest Starbucks sends strong signal of a growing market

Antioch, IL (September 5, 2025) – Antioch’s third Starbucks opens Saturday at 1051 IL Route 59, and village leaders say the café signals more than another place to grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte or Strawberry Acai Refresher.

Standalone Starbucks stores are often viewed as retail anchors, drawing another tier of restaurants, shops, and services that cluster around them. The new 2,540-square-foot shop sits near the busy Route 59/Route 173 intersection, where more than 12,000 vehicles travel through Antioch daily. Nearly 50,000 people live within a five-mile radius.



“The opening of this Starbucks is a significant win for Antioch,” Mayor Scott Gartner said. “Not only does it offer another great amenity for our residents, but it also creates new jobs and generates new revenue for the village. We are thrilled to welcome this new business and celebrate its commitment to our community, which will help us continue to invest in the services and infrastructure that make Antioch a great place to live.”

Construction wrapped in August, followed by a soft opening. Saturday’s grand-opening ceremony begins at 1 p.m., with a ribbon-cutting scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The public is invited.

The new location joins a corridor already home to Jewel-Osco, Ace Hardware, CVS Pharmacy, PNC Bank, and Advance Auto Parts. Nearby businesses include McDonald’s, Tractor Supply Company, NAPA Auto Parts, Dairy Queen, and Domino’s Pizza.

Antioch’s other standalone Starbucks is at 560 East Illinois Route 173, and another operates inside Jewel at 966 Lake Street.

Officials say the expansion underscores Antioch’s growing role as a retail destination in northern Lake County.

The Starbucks Coffeehouse Leader for the new location shares the excitement of the grand opening.

“I am very excited to be joining the Antioch community with this brand-new, beautiful Starbucks location,” said Madeline Derenzo. “We look forward to having you and serving you our wonderfully crafted beverages with a smile!”

The new Starbucks features a modern design, indoor café seating, and a drive-thru. It will be open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
