History
Provenance Logan Square was opened in February 2006 after owners Tracy Kellner & Joe Patt had lived in the neighborhood for several years and lamented the fact that they needed to leave their 'hood to get a nice bottle of wine, good cheese, bread or olive oil. So, after years of wishing for this to come to Logan Square, Tracy thought: "Why not do this ourselves?" And so it went...the neighborhood continues to grow in its offerings with other like-minded people opening small businesses of their own. In the summer of 2007 a similar business in Lincoln Square was for sale and the 2nd location of Provenance Food & Wine was opened.
