Conceived by the bold, boisterous minds behind the Chicago suburb’s most iconic restaurants (Subourbon, 302 Wheaton, Blackberry Market, Shane’s Deli… the list goes on), Maypole invites guests into a warm experience of comfort, connection, and curiosity—in each bite, in each sip, in each seat.

Then, by linking arms with one of Chicago’s most sought-after designers, Former Colleagues built the brand around a ribbon-inspired logo and a series of hand-drawn illustrations.

Maypole has already become a fixture of Wheaton’s booming restaurant scene, where everyone is invited to grab a ribbon and join in the fun.

Former Colleagues partnered with the founders to establish the concept, identity, and interior design of this iconic destination, including renovating an almost century-old building into a vibrant expression Filipino-American liveliness, with a touch of Parisian refinement and Scandinavian iconography.
