Shinola is opening a second Chicago store in the Gold Coast neighborhood this summer.

The company, known for Detroit-made watches and bicycles, is headed to 1009 N. Rush St. in July, according to Shinola's website.

Crain's Chicago Business first reported the news Wednesday.

Shinola opened its first Chicago store in Bucktown in 2014, but its local ties go beyond the brick-and-mortar shops. The company sources materials for watch straps and other leather goods from Chicago tannery Horween Leather. Chicago's C.A. Zoes Manufacturing makes its branded shoe polish.

Shinola also has said it plans to open an eyewear plant on the South Side sometime this year.

The company's Gold Coast address used to be a Scoop NYC store before that fashion retailer closed all stores in June 2016. It's also part of a bigger U.S. expansion for Shinola — the company's website lists six stores opening by August.
