Local Flavor Mount Prospect is a grab‑n‑go food and retail concept that brings together ready‑to‑eat meals, snacks, sweets, and curated goods sourced from both local and regional partners. We work with local restaurants, small businesses, independent food creators, and producers to offer a rotation of prepared foods and goods for sale.
