The ONE Group Announces Opening of STK Chicago

Chicago Welcomes a Fine Dining Experience That Breaks the Mold of the Traditional Steakhouse

10th STK Location Opens October 1 in Downtown Chicago

CHICAGO-- The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group”) (Nasdaq:STKS), a global hospitality company, today announced the opening of the 10th STK, located in downtown Chicago at 9 West Kinzie St., on the lower floor of The Museum of Broadcast Communications.

“We are thrilled to be launching the STK brand in Chicago, a city known for its excellent and diverse dining options,” says Jonathan Segal, CEO of The ONE Group. “We continue to bring the STK experience to new cities, with recent openings in Milan and Los Angeles and planned upcoming openings in Denver and Orlando slated for the first quarter of 2016.”

STK distinguishes itself from the traditional steakhouse by emphasizing the social experience and taking a vibe-driven approach to dining. The new 210-seat River North location features a signature horn wall at the entrance, sculpted fiberglass fins in a white bone finish cascading across the ceiling, and a sweeping bar at the center of the restaurant encouraging guests to interact and mingle. Guests will enjoy a variety of environments including a bistro, wine bar, three private dining rooms and a DJ booth, where local DJs create an infectious, high-energy atmosphere.
