Tony's Finer Foods Sets Jan. 9 Opening Date

Super Tony's Finer Foods on Route 59 has set a Jan. 9 opening date.

The announcement was made Thursday on the Itasca-based company's Facebook page, and was greeted by posts from happy, presumably local people who declared themselves "psyched," "counting down" the days and "You have no idea how much I am looking forward to the opening!"

Store hours have been posted on the company's Web site: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The company has spent the last three months transforming the former Strack & Van Till store at 2300 S. Route 59, which has a Plainfield mailing address but is actually in Joliet.

It will be the ninth store in the Tony's chain, which is mostly located in Chicago and the near-Chicago suburbs.
