River North is the most courier-dense neighborhood in Chicago after the Loop. The mix is unusual: creative agencies shipping print proofs and design samples, art galleries moving work between Superior, Huron, and Franklin, luxury hotels with constant guest and event traffic, restaurants shuffling supplies and catering, and the Merchandise Mart moving fabric, samples, and trade-show prep all year round.
Comet has handled this corridor since 1976. Drivers know the Mart's freight scheduling, which hotels accept courier drops at the bell desk versus the loading dock, and which gallery streets allow van loading and which require carry-in.
