GOLD COAST — Jewel-Osco will open its new grocery store at Clark and Division streets this month after nearly two years of construction.
The grocery chain will open its new store June 28 at 102 W. Division St., said Mary Frances Trucco, a Jewel spokeswoman.
Jewel ran a grocery store for years at the corner bracketing the Gold Coast and Old Town until 2015, when the store was razed to make way for a new apartment tower called The Sinclair. A new, bigger Jewel was always planned for The Sinclair's ground floor.
The new Jewel will span 56,000 square feet, nearly double the 29,000-square-foot store that was demolished on the northwest corner of Clark and Division.
Jewel-Osco executives and others are expected to reveal more details of the new grocery store during a walkthrough with local media June 27.
Built by Chicago developer Fifield Cos., The Sinclair takes its name from author Upton Sinclair, nodding to the buildings named after literary figures in nearby Sandburg Village. Fifield said in 2015 the 35-story, 390-unit tower cost $250 million.
