New Jewel-Osco opens in Bensenville

BENSENVILLE - The Village of Bensenville welcomed a new Jewel-Osco Fresh Market near the corner of Grand Avenue and York Road.

Hundreds of residents and guests joined Village President Frank Soto and the board of trustees in celebrating the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new flagship Jewel. The store features many amenities such as a new Starbucks, fresh prepared sushi station, burrito bar, delicatessen cheese and wine, fresh bakery, and one of their largest selections of craft beer all stored and sold cold.

"This is a great day for Bensenville and something we have been working on for a long time," said Soto. "We did not want to lose a grocery store at this important corridor. Attracting a top quality store with a history and reputation like Jewel-Osco illustrates all Bensenville has to offer."

At the grand opening Jewel donated $2,500 to Fenton High School and the Bensenville/Wood Dale Food Pantry. They also provided food at the 45th Annual Toy Drive Distribution, provided gift cards and goody bags at the Village's monthly senior citizen luncheon, and are working with the Bensenville/Wood Dale food pantry to ensure excess baked goods and
