Indianapolis-based Stacked Pickle is looking to expand into Illinois and sees Elk Grove as a key community for the brand's expansion after the village recently sponsored a college football bowl game, the "Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl," in December of 2018. According to a recent article in The Daily Herald, the family-friendly restaurant and sports bar views Elk Grove as a community that would be a natural fit for Stacked Pickle's growth. Stacked Pickle is also looking at growing in central Illinois in communities such as Bloomington-Normal, Peoria and Springfield.

"I was watching the game and saw the commentary about this town in Chicago," said Brackett to the Daily Herald, who was the defensive captain on the Colts' 2007 Super Bowl team that beat the Bears. "At the same time for the last few months, we've been looking to expand our brand in the Chicago area."
