Logan Squares Small Cheval Opens Monday In Former The Freeze Spot

Chicago, ILLocal News

Small Cheval is set to open Monday at 2815 W. Armitage Ave. , previously home to The Freeze ice cream parlor. The new venue will serve a diverse menu that includes hamburgers, cocktails, and soft serve, while retaining some nostalgic features, such as the iconic sign and soft serve machines. Former owner Tony Zarcone, who sold The Freeze after 30 years of operation, noted the need for upgrades that he could not undertake.

The renovation work by Hogsalt included adding a patio and expanding the kitchen for year-round service. This marks Hogsalt's 11th Small Cheval location, aimed at providing a modern dining experience. The opening hours will be from 3-10 p. m. daily, with plans for expanded hours soon.

Zarcone expressed confidence in the new direction, emphasizing the importance of keeping the legacy alive. Small Cheval's launch seeks to blend tradition with contemporary dining.
