Welcome to the Clarendon Hills Jewel-Osco!
For the first time since October, we're headed to Illinois! Calypso is bringing us a tour of the Clarendon Hills Jewel-Osco. This store opened on January 24, 1967, and was the largest store in the chain at the time of opening, with special features including a pastry shop, book and magazine section, and photography shop. Despite its large size at the time, it's been remodeled several times over the years, and currently has the Jewel Heritage decor inside. In we go!
This is our first time seeing a Jewel-Osco with Starbucks inside.
This store's grand aisle is on the right side of the building, with deli (not pictured) and produce on the outside wall, meat and seafood in the corner, and bakery on an island.
In this store, aisle 14 is home to general merchandise like party products and greeting cards.
The pharmacy, formerly known as Osco Drug, is in the back corner on the far left side of the store. HABA is in the aisles across from the counter. This store has had a pharmacy department since opening.
Beer and wine is in the last aisle of the store, with floral on the front wall.

The store has been its current size since the mid 90s, which was also probably when it got the double entrances. Those were popular with Acme during that time.

At this time, the store had a green color scheme on the exterior and the Industrial Circus decor inside.
Thanks as always to Calypso for this Jewel-Osco tour! Next week, we're heading back home to see a much more familiar store to me, GIANT. Thank you for reading, and see you next week! Sincerely, The Retail Connection.
