About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Jewel-Osco late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I think I just saw a ghost in the dairy aisle.’ As he approached the frozen foods section, another voice whispered, ‘Did you see that milk carton move?’ Just then, an ice cream truck drove by outside, and everyone burst out laughing. Turns out, it was just a reflection on the freezer doors.
2. In the early morning hours at Jewel-Osco, a shopper asked aloud, ‘Why does the milk always seem cheaper when I’m not hungry?’ Suddenly, an elderly neighbor appeared from behind the cheese counter and whispered, ‘Because when you’re hungry, you only see the price per gallon, but when you’re full, you notice the big sign that says “Buy One Get One Free.”’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another one of those mysterious Jewel-Osco riddles.
3. At Jewel-Osco, an old lady picked up a shopping cart and found something strange nestled among the groceries: a tiny, perfectly folded note that read, ‘Dear Shopper, I left my heart here.’ She showed it to her husband, who laughed and said, ‘Honey, you must’ve dropped your heart in here before.’ They both had a good laugh, and she put the note back, deciding maybe hearts were best where they belonged—at home. The next day, a delivery driver found another note: ‘Found your heart! It was hiding behind the bananas.’
4. At Jewel-Osco, a customer noticed an oddly familiar face staring back from the cereal box. Who was that smiling child? Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be none other than little Timmy, the neighborhood kid who always helped with deliveries. Turns out his mom had sent him in for some milk, and he decided to pose for the camera on his way out. Ever since then, whenever anyone buys cereal at Jewel-Osco, they look for Timmy’s smile—just to make their morning brighter.
