Mariano's Fresh Market

The city approved a 5-story commercial complex at 3030 N. Broadway.

While some neighbors expressed concern about traffic, Ald. Tunney said it's part of city living.

The location, near the borders of Bucktown and Lincoln Park, is the second biggest in the chain.

The store at 2112 N. Ashland Ave. marks Mariano's 23rd location.

Community leaders gathered for a breakfast event and tour Monday morning.

The pharmacy at the grocery store at 31st Street and Ashland Avenue already is open.

The grocery store has kept the pharmacy from the old Dominick's open as it preps for a springtime debut.

Wild Blossom Meadery & Winery has big plans for its South Side-branded wine and renowned mead.

The Ashland Avenue grocer isn't hosting a big blowout sale before closing.

The fate of the Norwood Park store, which closes at the end of the month, is unclear.

Any unsold stores would close at the end of the year, the parent company of Dominick's has said.

The chain has bought two other Chicago Dominick's locations, including the Ashland Avenue store.

The longtime Chicago grocer is set to close its doors, and a bidder hasn't emerged to replace it.

An 80,000-square-foot Mariano's Bucktown is scheduled to open "in the middle of 2014," spokesman said.

Shoppers at the West Loop grocery store were treated to flash opera performance last week.
