Save A Lot returns to West Lawn, holding grand reopening giveaway
Save A Lot is officially returning to Chicago's West Lawn neighborhood on Wednesday.
The store at 63rd and Kenneth will celebrate its grand reopening with a giveaway for customers.
Doors are expected to reopen to the public at 8 a.m. and the first 100 customers will get a free bag of groceries.
This is the sixth store of parent company Yellow Banana that has reopened in Chicago.
The West Lawn Save A Lot was initially scheduled to open in February, but the company says it faced unexpected project delays. The renovations were supposed to be done by March 31 or they would risk losing TIF dollars.
A city-approved extension pushed that deadline to September.
Neighbors previously said they can't trust the Save A Lot brand, saying it has a reputation for selling a lackluster product.
The company first announced renovation plans backed by city tax incentives in 2022. They announced last summer that they were aiming to reopen six discount grocery stores.
