Pop-Up License Information Session

Join us for an info session for Pop-Up User or Pop-Up Host business licenses. A representative from the Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection will be presenting on the process to obtain a Pop-Up license for businesses and for commercial property owners.

With the new Pop-Up User business licenses, retail entrepreneurs and restaurateurs will be able to obtain a short-term license that is not location-based, which will enable them to operate in temporary commercial locations throughout Chicago.

Conversely, the owners of commercial locations, with appropriate kitchen equipment for those who want to host licensed pop-up restaurateurs, will be able to obtain the proper Pop-Up Food Establishment Host business license, which provides them with the ability to lease or rent out their vacant establishments during their license period.

These business license types are the first-of-its-kind in the nation. Join us to get more information and to get answers to your questions.
