Chicago summer 2026 closures: Hackney's, Wishbone, Zeitlin's and more

Several Chicago-area neighborhood businesses are shutting down in July and August, with additional closures planned across coming months, according to announcements cited by the report. Hackney’s will close its Lake Street location in Glenview in September after 71 years, leaving only its original Harms Road site opened in 1939. Zeitlin’s Delicatessen, a bagel pop-up that opened a Clybourn Avenue storefront last year, has closed, as has Wishbone, which will end its final Jefferson Street location at the end of August after more than 35 years. Stella’s Diner’s building was sold after health code issues; Ann Sather owner Tom Tunney plans a new opening there.
