La Michoacana Helados Artesanales Corp receives Chicago food license
Rule Changes Chicago, IL localLicense issued after inspections pass at 9800 S Escanaba Ave; existing ice cream shop operates there
Overview
Chicago issued a food license to La Michoacana Helados Artesanales Corp on October 8, 2026, for a retail food establishment with a dining area at 9800 S Escanaba Avenue in South Deering. The license covers food prepared on-site, plus coffee and drinks.
Two inspection rounds came first. A September 10 review found the business not ready; an October 1 re-inspection passed with two violations, both about staff training on food-handler rules and allergens. The address already holds an ice cream shop under a similar name. Records do not show whether this corporation runs that shop, or whether it has started serving customers.
Why it matters
This license allows a new food business to operate in South Deering, subject to ongoing health inspections.
