Jewel-Osco

I’m just not a fan of jewel in general. I would say they are like a last resort grocery store. If it’s the closest grocery in a pinch then it will do. Their veggies and fruit just never seen as fresh as Caputos or Mariano’s. And this seems to be at all jewel stores. Also, I have gone here many times and they have been out of an item. For example, I needed some Brussel sprouts quickly to make a dish for a dinner. Ran in. There were 2 little container things with old chopped Brussel sprouts that were brownish in color. Yuck. Although desperate, I ran to another store. Just couldn’t do it. Come on Jewel. You guys will be the next Dominicks if you don’t step up your game.

I have been shopping at this Jewel for 21 years. It is so sad how far this Jewel has fallen. Today was my final bad experience in this store. I will never set foot in this Jewel again. I rather drive any where else and try any other store than this Jewel. They have completely revamped their aisles, in such a fashion that makes no sense what so ever. Their selection of everything has dwindled to few organic products. Their service is non existence now that they do not have to compete with Dominick’s. I had the worst experience at the meat counter today. It is with a sad and heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to Jewel after being a devoted customer for more than 30 years, 21 of them at this store. I rather drive to Schumburg, S. Elgin, Even Geneva and try any other grocery store than set foot in a Jewel store again.

Is it me or Jewel’s produce and meat have been fresher since Dominique’s closed? I went to jewel last week (first time in probably 8 months), some of their beef cuts are comparable to Costco’s.
Their produce are not as fresh as the farmer’s market down the street.

Last week out of limes, this week out of milk, next week what will they be out of?
Dominick’s closed a few weeks ago. I feel as though jewel has not kept up with inventory now that they are hosting more customers.
Grr.

if domincks is closing this store will be next. poor quality produce. service is ok.

Yay for Jewel in Bartlett! You saved the day!!!
After leaving the Streamwood Jewel, I still needed the Old World Rye Bread for spinach dip that I was bringing to a party tonight. I called this location near my home and spoke with Mary in the Bake Shop. You could tell that it was busy, but she agreed to check for the bread. She had one left and happily agreed to set it aside for me to pick up shortly.
Fifteen minutes later, I head in to pick up my bread. …I am trying to think of how to type the noise for the clouds parting and the sun shining through brightly… I was thrilled to have Mary hand me my bread with a smile. I asked if there was any more — even sliced? And she walked around to find their rye which is the same thing in a different shape and presented a fresh loaf to me. It was perfect. After a brief, pleasant conversation, I headed to the front, used the self-​checkout without a wait and was ready to leave moments later.
This is just one of many positive experiences at this particular Jewel. Prompt. Friendly. Clean. It’s a great store. Overall, Jewel usually always has the highest prices, but they have the best selection and the special items that I need.
