About this location
Terminal 5 has only one I Love Chicago, at Gate M11 on Concourse M. It runs 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., a twelve-hour span that still closes well before the dining court's Hudson nearby, which never shuts. Its neighbors are the same trio of fast-food counters, Big Bowl, Burger King and Chick-Fil-A, that ring most of this stretch of the concourse, but it is the local-themed souvenir shop among them rather than a national newsstand chain. There is no second location elsewhere in the terminal to set its hours against.

All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
