Earlier this week, Grubhub hosted its first-ever Food Feastival at Chicago’s Daley Plaza as part of our ongoing 20th anniversary celebration. The event brought together THOUSANDS of people including local small businesses owners, our Chicago-based Grubhub team and business partners, and our hungry diners to honor the hometown restaurants who make Chicago’s food scene so special. In total, twenty local restaurants participated, offering more than 12,000 bites of their signature dishes – including everything from deep dish pizza and Chicago-style dogs to pad thai and shrimp & grits. Jewel-Osco even jumped in on the fun to donate water for the event! A huge thank you to everyone who attended – especially all the amazing merchant partners who made this celebration possible. Here’s to the next 20 years!

Jewel-Osco partnered with PepsiCo to give the students firsthand knowledge into the industry and talk about career paths at both companies. PepsiCo also donated $50K to Chicago Jesuit Academy that will help benefit the students and their future growth. #Community #Futureleaders
