CHICAGO (CBS)-- West suburban Westmont is going bananas on Wednesday.
The world's largest fruit stand with 70,000 pounds of bananas is going on display at 10:30 a.m. at the Jewel at 4 East Ogden Avenue.
Jewel Osco and Fresh Del Monte are teaming up to build the stand as a commitment to combat food insecurity.
There were around 211,000 bananas on the record-breaking display.
CBS 2's Meredith Barack confirmed, guests were going "bananas" for the "a-peeling array of produce."
Anyone can stop by and get free bananas. Left over bananas will be donated to area food banks.
