Not only is Guido's in Hillside gone, but so is the whole damn Shopping Center

Back in the days when my dad would buy a new car, and it took 3 days to make the deal, unreal....

The JEWEL Store is the one from 53/54 S. Pulaski Rd. It's been ages since I've seen the Bazaar Sign next to JEWEL. I know someone who has a photo of that location and she showed me where this location is at. There's no doubt about the location! At 1:13 - That's North Avenue up on the north side of town. At 1:39 the A&P Store is by the Redline or Greenline L Station, so that would be up on the north side. So far, the majority of the food stores in this video are located on the north side of Chicago Only one I know of was located on the south side was the JEWEL food store.

when my dad saw the word Bazaar, he would barrel thru people and the front door like a running back for the Bears, the ass

[@munsters2]

I think we used to call the National store "National Tea". Anybody else remember that or were we nuts?

[@brianglade848]

Totally bonkers

I practically visited most of those supermarkets with my father when I was quite young. We shopped at A&P, National, Dominick's, Jewel, Omni & Cub Foods. Good times. 🛒

[@dvferyance]

I never knew Pick N Save ever had any stores in the Chicago area other than the one in Waukegan that closed in 2008. In fact I read when Roundy's announced they were coming to the Chicago area the article said they had never been in Chicago before. That is of course when they launched Mariano's.

[@JohnHolton]

Looks like you got all the ones I remember. Is that Jewel-Osco Grand Bazaar the one from 55th and Pulaski?

[@hayford75]

No. I believe this one was located at W 87th St and the Dan Ryan.

[@brianglade848]

My dad would hear "bazaar"and be there 2 hours before it opened to get a cheap frying pan, prob wasted half his life in lines.....unreal

Thanx 4 the trip down grocery store memory lane.

[@lindaosika7648]

I shopped at a lot of these places. Miss those days.

[@brianglade848]

Ok ...how many times do you think you farted in one of these stores?.....I can think of 4.....

[@michaelmarlow7064]

I remember National and Dominick's. Had a Dominick's just down the street on North Ave. I remember my grandmother always mentioning something that she bought at National's.

[@KnuckleheadParker]

Not a chain, but The Model on 147th street, Dolton. East of Arts Roller Rink and Watson Oldsmobile. It was a big day when it opened, had a bakery, snack bar and a liquor store, had free babysitting. I worked there from 1967 to 69

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

I've never heard of any of these stores, but then again, I've never been to Chicago. The A&P stores I've heard of. There used to be one on Central Avenue in Yonkers, N.Y., where I spent most of my childhood, all of my teenage years, and the first eleven years of my adulthood (ages 18-29, from 1978-1989).

I grew up in Richton Park. My family shopped at A&P and Garafalo's. My oldest sister worked at Korvette's in Matteson, which was down the road from Venture. A&P became National Foods, and then they built an Eagle's across the street. Ahh, the great memories!
