The store to be shuttered is in the Four Flaggs Shopping Center, at the southeast corner of Golf Road and Milwaukee Avenue, just east of Golf Mill Shopping Center. The other two are in Aurora and on Chicago's South Side the paper reported; the Niles store is slated to close by April 5.
The store is across the street from a Wal-Mart, which has been running ads comparing its prices favorably to Jewel-Osco prices. However, the ads have been criticized by some bloggers, who suggest you can beat both the Wal-Mart and Jewel prices in those ads by shopping sales and/or using coupons.
