MCKINLEY PARK — One of the area's most pressing questions finally has an answer.

The Mariano's Fresh Market at 3145 S. Ashland Ave. will open at 6 a.m. May 6, the company announced Monday. The store's pharmacy is already open and accepting new customers.

Citing corporate policy, a spokesman for the grocery chain's parent company wouldn't say what special features the store will contain.

Other new Mariano's in Chicago have such amenities as a smokehouse and wine bar, smoothie station and wild game section and a gelato bar and grilling station.

The new South Side store, which is set to replace the shuttered Dominick's, will hire about 350 workers.
