MOD PIZZA ANNOUNCES 2016 OPENING IN SHOREWOOD
Metro Market on target for March 2016 opening

Shorewood, Wis. (Nov 19, 2015) – MOD Pizza, a build-your-own, fast and casual pizza restaurant chain headquartered in Seattle, has announced that it will open Fall 2016 in Shorewood as part of the Mosiac, the mixed-use building now under construction in the two blocks on the west side of Oakland Avenue between East Kenmore Place and Olive Streets.

This is the first retailer announced for the Mosaic, the 6-story mixed-use building which will feature 90 upscale apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space, according to Michael Weiss, president of General Capital Group, the project developer.

MOD Pizza, founded by the creators of Seattle’s Best Coffee, is a counter-serve franchise featuring industrial-chic décor along with build-your-own pizza in wood-burning ovens. MOD also serves salad, garlic strips, milkshakes, draft beer, and wine and one price covers as many toppings as you’d like.

“It’s fresh, fast pizza with homemade and healthy ingredients and the company is also committed to giving back to its local communities,” said Village Manager Chris Swartz. “We are excited that MOD is coming to Shorewood and look forward to announcing more retailers in the near future.”
