Des Plaines, Wheeling grocers close

A grocery store that opened months ago in Des Plaines has closed and an Aldi store in Wheeling is closing at the end of the month. The Aldi located at 901 W. Dundee Road, Wheeling, will close for good July 31 after the store and its landlord couldn’t agree on a new lease, village officials said. International Fresca Market at 727 West Golf Road, east of Elmhurst Road in Des Plaines, closed July 3 because “business wasn’t good,” a store manager said Wednesday. The market, which replaced a Butera food store, opened March 23. As late as June 15, the owners renewed their liquor license, city officials said. The owners could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
