Jewel-Osco will build a grocery store and drive-through pharmacy on the northwest corner of 61st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced on Tuesday.
The 48,000-square-foot store will employ 200 full- and part-time workers when it opens in late 2018. The full-service supermarket will offer fresh produce, a deli counter, ready-made meals and a variety of service for customers.
The store will be a joint venture of Terraco and DL3 which will lease the facility to Jewel-Osco.
The store is one of the latest developments along Cottage Grove Avenue which is close by to the future Obama Presidential Center, MetroSquash rec center, Woodlawn Resource Center and a new residence hall for the University of Chicago, new apartment buildings, the Strand Hotel, new restaurants and more.
