Future home of Whiskey a gogo?
Though it won't happen soon enough (for NeoCon that is), Big Whiskey is coming to the Merchandise Mart this spring. NeoCon parties in 2017 could get even better. Beginning in September, premium spirits company Beam Suntory will gradually move its 450-plus employees and global headquarters from Deerfield, Illinois to Chicago's Merchandise Mart, making it the latest company to pull up stakes in the 'burbs in hopes of attracting a young diverse workforce in the city. Beam Suntory signed a letter intent to sublease 110,000 square feet of office space from Motorola Mobility within the Mart, executives announced Monday.
