Clucker's plans to expand its catering services; has launched its "Cluck Truck," which will serve up food and events and farmers markets in the North Shore; and will continue to deliver to Libertyville and Vernon Hills from its full-service Clucker's in Highwood, according to the article. A Clucker's TO GO, which opened in 2021 in Wilmette, will also remain open.
