A crowd of more than 60 filled the soaring workout room of Park No. 571 in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood on Wednesday, November 20, most standing for over 1-1/2 hours to hear details of the pending Cougle Foods development across from the park, on the other side of the South Branch of the Chicago River (aka Bubbly Creek). Hosted by 25th Ward Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez in collaboration with 11th Ward Alderman Patrick D. Thompson, the meeting included presentations from the father-son duo running Cougle Foods: Lee and Ed Freidheim.

For owner Lee Freidheim, the site at 2841 S. Ashland Ave. is great for Cougle Foods because of its location in a food production district and its proximity to customers and employees. "To us, a Planned Manufacturing District is an ideal location," he said.
