A local food truck is testing out a limited-time location in an open food court space at the Empire Mall later this month.
Windy City Bites, a food truck that opened in late 2020 and brings a taste of Chicago to Sioux Falls, is opening for five days this month in a vacant food court space, which was formerly filled by Boss' Pizza, said Samantha Lewis, co-owner of Windy City Bites.
She and her husband and co-owner DaShawn Lewis said they're looking forward to reaching a new client base, having new interactions with customers and giving people a steady location instead of following their food truck around town.

Windy City Bites will be open from April 21-25 at the food court.
"If someone is craving a bite, then they can come out and know exactly where to find us," Samantha said.

The couple will feature its full menu during its appearance at the mall, including a new menu addition: Italian beef combo, which is a mix of Italian beef and Italian sausage on French bread and with toppings. They might add it to their full menu if people like it enough, Samantha said.
While they won't offer their Soul Food Sunday meals at the location, they are adding vegan taffy grapes.
The couple initially reached out to the mall to inquire about parking their food truck in the Empire Mall parking lot, but representatives with the mall had this opportunity for them, too.
"We're hoping to reach a different crowd here," Samantha said. "It'll likely be people who are coming to town and the mall who aren't searching for food trucks like people in Sioux Falls do."
This experimental pop-up shop is a step toward the couple's overall goal, which is to own a restaurant or storefront.
Depending on how interested people are, Samantha said they might make it a permanent location.
Windy City Bites will be open at the Empire Mall from mall open to close everyday from April 21-25. The couple posts their menu and updates their food truck schedule regularly on Facebook and their websit
