Jewel-Osco | Elmhurst, IL

 

153 Schiller Street

Welcome to the Elmhurst Jewel-Osco!

Our third time in Illinois means our third time in a Jewel-Osco. Thanks, as always, to Calypso for these photos. Back in September, we saw Elmhurst's other Jewel-Osco, also considered part of Butterfield, and today we'll be touring their more northern store in Elmhurst proper. The Schiller Street Jewel-Osco opened back in 1969 and was expanded in 2001. Let's take a look around!

Like the other store in Elmhurst, this location has the Legacy decor, which is basically the same as Acme's Quality Built package.

We entered on the right side of the store, to the beer and wine section. The other entrance leads into the grand aisle, which we'll be seeing in a moment.

Rounding out this area of the store is the pharmacy, located on the back wall. Doctor Jojo is making an appearance on their shingles shots posters!

                      

Frozen foods are located in the center of the store, complete with cheesy Sincerely, Food signage.

The grand aisle is on the left side of the store, featuring the deli, bakery, meat and seafood, and produce. I believe the tile backsplash behind the counters is from the original version of the Santa Fe decor, also known as "the Jewel interior".

Floral and checkouts take up the front end space.

This store has the "Marketplace" signage like the other Elmhurst Jewel-Osco.

That concludes our tour of the other Elmhurst Jewel-Osco! Thank you again to Calypso for the photos. Of the three Jewels we've seen so far, this one seems to be the nicest. The 2000's remodel must have been pretty extensive, as the store still looks pretty new and the layout is mostly the same as the average Acme from the time (except for the pharmacy). This Albertsons-owned store has been in business for quite a long time, but the one we'll be seeing next week is having its grand opening today! See you then! Sincerely, The Retail Connection.
