Jewel Foods started as a coffee and delivery service in 1899 and is now the dominant grocery store chain in the Chicagoland marketplace with stores in the city and suburbs and with stores in parts of Indiana and Iowa. “We’re proud to serve neighborhoods where we are and cater to their needs,” said Jewel-Osco President Mike Withers. “Our offerings continue to evolve to serve the neighborhoods as they continue to evolve”.
To celebrate their anniversary, the grocer pulled out all the stops with a horse drawn carriage at their West Loop location symbolizing those early days. “We’re back to our roots. We started with ‘e-commerce’ and we’re big in e-commerce today. We’ve really come full circle,” said Withers.
Jewel-Osco is part of the Albertsons family of stores and has 188 stores in the Chicagoland market. Boise-based Albertsons operates 2,269 retail stores with 1,725 pharmacies in 34 states, 403 fuel centers and 22 distribution centers under 20 banners including Jewel-Osco.
