Gloria Jean's Coffee first opened as a gift shop in Chicago in 1979. The coffee was popular and the chain has now expanded to more than 110 locations across the country and another 185 in Australia. In addition to regular coffee, some of the flavored coffees offered include blackberry cream, cappuccino, mocha coconut and white chocolate strawberry. This particular Gloria Jean's Coffee store is near the south end of the Northwoods Mall near the Dillard's department store.
