I don't know what they are going to do with all the food that will not sell. I walked around and found nothing except two ears of corn that I wanted to buy. So I left with nothing. Tony's would have done well in Vernon Hills.

Nutshell: they did, he was in and out, going home now to bake cookies and feed cats.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Professional Misconduct by Store Manager at Elmhurst Location (Store…read more#3182) To Jewel-Osco Customer Care and Corporate Leadership, I am contacting you to report an ongoing issue regarding unprofessional management behavior at your Elmhurst location (153 S. Schiller St., Elmhurst, IL). As a regular customer, I believe that employee disciplinary actions should be handled with discretion and respect. Unfortunately, I have witnessed a female store manager publicly berating employees on two separate occasions, which completely ruined my shopping experience. Incident 1: Monday, July 6, 2026 While waiting in the checkout line, I witnessed this manager speaking in a very loud, aggressive, and unprofessional tone to a young male employee. She was shouting that she was the manager, that "what she says goes," and told him she did not want to see him outside anymore. Incident 2: June 2026 Last month, I witnessed the same manager shouting down a grocery aisle at an employee, loudly warning them that they "better not be on the telephone." While I understand that employees require guidance and correction, doing so publicly in a loud, demeaning manner is entirely inappropriate. Constructive criticism and disciplinary actions should be conducted privately, not in front of a store full of customers. This behavior creates a hostile atmosphere and reflects poorly on the Jewel-Osco brand. I request that corporate leadership look into this matter and ensure this manager is coached on professional leadership practices. If this disruptive behavior is not addressed, I will be forced to take my business elsewhere and escalate this matter further. I look forward to your prompt response regarding how this will be resolved. Sincerely, F.L., leef860@gmail.com

This is one of my preferred Mariano's locations to go to as the parking is more spacious and logically laid out than some of the other locations. I also like the very spacious layout of this spot, with lots of room to casually browse and enjoy the shopping experience. One of the interesting things about this location is how giant everything feels, with the ability to really see from one side of the store to the other. I'm not necessarily sure if this is a good or bad thing (similar to Woodman's) where you know you can get everything you need to buy here, but at the same time the store might feel too large (the Northbrook location I think has a similar amount of options, but the way it's arranged makes it not seem as overwhelming). The store overall is clean with plenty of attractive looking displays. The selection is outstanding and prices are competitive. Checkout is quick and efficient as well.

I thought it was cool that this was right below our parking garage the moment we got out. It's a really huge store honestly with a wider selection of snacks and food compared to its other locations. It's got narrower aisles which there's nothing wrong with it I just thought it was cool for this store. Clean restrooms and very helpful and social staff that really know their products. Great perks if you're a member and it's honestly one of the best stores in the downtown Elmhurst area.

Walmart in general is kinda the GOAT honestly…read more I've been going to this particular location for the last few months now since I moved to the area. It's kind of a hit or miss; I've had good experiences and not-so-good experiences. No matter what time of the day you come here at, I swear this Walmart is always busy. I've never seen it slow on any day or any time. The parking can be kind of hectic because of this, too, but I usually just park in the back anyway to avoid it (gotta get my steps in). This Walmart is BIG and has everything a Walmart requires - food, clothes, toiletries, electronics, decor, seasonal stuff, etc. Sometimes I find their shelves empty and running out of a lot of stuff. Sometimes I find their shelves fully stocked, it's really up in the air when I come in. I've usually always had a good experience with the staff though; they're pretty helpful and nice. The worst experience I had was when my sister and I bought a TV here for our apartment. We bought a TV and had a good experience with the employees; however, when we opened up the TV at home there was a huge crack in it and it was not a workable TV because of it. We went back to customer service and it turns out they re-sold a returned, broken TV. They said it should have never been on their shelves. It was just a whole ordeal and took kinda long and then we had to buy another TV since that was the last one within the price range we were looking for. I've been to better Walmarts and I've been to worse, this one is okay if you're looking for simple items!

Do they hate us? This is my last time trying this location for *anything*…read more I came in for the big jug of oil for my 2005 ml350. Walmart does beat the next brick and mortar price by several dollars, but I'm not sure that after climbing the shelf a few times to try to find it that I was still getting a bargain. I gave up and sent David in-- he's six foot three and should do better than I did... or maybe he will get randomly lucky and find an employee who will help. Looks like a successful excursion, the bank app just alerted me to a purchase. Lets wait a few minutes to see if he comes out with the motor oil (it might just be treats for the meows instead) Okay! Meow food and oil-- but he had to compromise. The person who helped told him that this location NEVER has the 23 dollar five quart. We ended up paying thirty one dollars and getting a stiff reminder: Chicagoland is an ongoing crime.

This is a Jewel that I don't live by, so I haven't had the opportunity to shop there. That said,…read moreone afternoon, I stopped there to pick up a few items that I needed for dinner. Although it isn't a huge store by today's standards, it had a nice variety of products to choose from. It also had a bakery, deli, floral department, and pharmacy, which all seemed to cover whatever basic items you might need for life's daily events. The store itself was also organized and well-maintained. Checking out was hassle free. When I shop, I no longer put my purse in the shopping cart because I don't want to risk it being stolen from the basket. On my trip to this store, distracted with life, I put my handbag down after I had paid for my groceries and put the bags into the cart. It wasn't until I'd gotten all the way home that I realized I'd left my purse at Jewel. The purse had sentimental meaning because it had been a gift from my sister. As soon as I recognized it was missing, I called the store, hoping someone had been good enough to turn it in. Thankfully, my purse was at the customer service counter and had been turned in. It did something to my heart to know that people can still be counted on to do the right thing. Not only was this a pleasant store to visit overall, the people that shop in it are good people.
