Hi- I just heard that Jewel is closing three of their stores in the Chicago area, including one in Aurora, one at 106th street in Chicago, and one on Golf Road in Niles. The one in Niles is right down the street from the Mariana's that is supposed to go up in Glenview. Maybe Mariano's could move into the Niles Jewel store instead? BTW- That store is right across the street from a super walmart, which I am sure does not help matters, and just a block away from Aldi's and a super Target..

Wow, that was fast! The Jewel on Golf Road in Niles is closed already! I was surprised. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that it was open.

IMHO, Mariano's could not fit into that location. The parking was already tight with just the little Jewel store. It seems small to me.

The Wal-Mart down the street is not a Super Wal-Mart. In fact, I think of it as a teeny Wal-Mart even though it does have an entire grocery store inside. In my estimation, it is less than one fourth the size of the Super Wal-Mart in Waukegan Illnois. Just guessing. Even with extensive parking, that Wal-Mart draws so much traffic at times that it is hard to find a spot.
