Mayor Rahm Emanuel broke ground on the new Jewel-Osco on the northwest corner of 61st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue. The full-service grocery store and drive-through pharmacy store will bring high-quality fresh food options to the Woodlawn community.  The 48,000-square-foot store will employ approximately 200 full-and part-time workers when it opens in early 2019. The full-service supermarket will offer fresh produce, a deli counter, ready-to-eat meals and a variety of service for customers. The store will be developed by a joint venture of Terraco and DL3, which will lease the facility to Jewel-Osco.  The new grocery store and 24hour/7-day a week pharmacy is the latest in a surge of developments along South Cottage Grove Avenue near 61st Street, which is just minutes from the future home of the Obama Presidential Center.
