Dominick's Goes Dark 28 December

If, by 28 December, the remaining Dominick's do not find buyers, it will be lights out for the Chicago grocer chain.  Human resources issued that date as the day current employees will be separated from parent company, Safeway.  So far, Jewel has agreed to buy only four locations.

Good Riddance to Dominick's?

Crappy service.  Poorly - maintained restrooms.  Surly workers.

Safeway, the parent company of Dominick's, is pulling out of the Chicago - area market.  Though I sympathize with the employees who risk losing their jobs, I can not ignore the substandard products or rude workers, at 6009 N. Broadway, in the Edgewater neighbourhood.  Perhaps a fresh start is what is needed.  Whoever replaces it, must offer better service and quality.

As far as prices go, Dominick's is way too expensive!   Aldi and Devon Market are my main destination for groceries; what they lack in ambiance, they make up for it in  value and quality.
