About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Jewel-Osco when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes of cereal onto the shelves, he kept hearing whispers coming from behind him. Curious, he turned around—and there stood an old lady smiling mysteriously. The delivery driver looked closer and realized she wasn’t real—just an old poster for a sale on canned goods. He smiled, thinking how sometimes our imagination plays tricks on us, especially in supermarkets. That night, back home, he even laughed out loud remembering the mysterious lady, who had become his new favorite Jewel-Osco ghost story.
2. It was an unseasonably warm November morning at Jewel-Osco when a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the dairy aisle. As he bent down to investigate, he heard a soft giggle from behind the shelves. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a neighborhood cat who seemed rather amused by the whole ordeal. ‘Well,’ said the delivery driver, scratching his head, ‘I guess milk really does bring people together—even if it’s just cats and grocery workers!’
3. It was an ordinary afternoon at Jewel-Osco when a delivery driver noticed a mysterious package in one of the shopping carts near the entrance. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but a note that read: ‘To whoever finds this, please return it to Room 404.’ The delivery driver shrugged and placed the empty box back where he found it, deciding it wasn’t his business to investigate further.
4. It was a typical weekday morning at Jewel-Osco when a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Why do I always see that same old lady pushing her cart in circles?’ Finally curious, he followed her and watched as she carefully placed an empty box of cereal back on the shelf. Turns out, every morning she’d come in, circle around the store, and rearrange everything just so—because she loved seeing things neat and tidy for everyone else. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe Jewel-Osco needed more regulars like her.
