JEWEL-OSCO, a leading Midwest food and pharmacy retailer, has begun construction on a new store that will eventually replace the retailer’s current supermarket at 7127 W. 127th St., in Palos Heights, Ill.
The replacement store will be more than 55,000 square feet, making it much larger than the current Palos Heights JEWEL-OSCO, which, for customer convenience, will remain open during the construction process. The replacement store is being built directly behind the current location and is scheduled to open next summer.
“We are constantly updating and rebuilding stores to better serve our customers,” said JEWEL-OSCO President Brian Huff. “Once we have finished this project, we will be able to provide our Palos Heights customers expanded services and a greater product selection.”

- Chef’s Kitchen for traditional deli selections

- Floral department
- Liquor department
