Soon-to-Close Dominick's Cutting Some Prices by 50%
The Joliet store at Essington and Caton Farm has not been sold, so prices are being slashed to clear shelves by Dec. 28.
With the Dominick's in Joliet and elsewhere in the Chicago area set to close Dec. 28, prices are being slashed on some items in order to clear store shelves.
Health, beauty and candy merchandise went on sale earlier this week, and today many items are set to be cut by as much as 50 percent, according to a report published by CBS 2.
Liquor will go on sale Monday, with some stores discounting it by 30 percent and others going half price, the story said.
The only items that won't be discounted are products such as name brand soda, fresh meat and produce, the story said.
The grocery store chain has been trying to sell its Chicago market stores, and some -- including the one at Black Road and Route 59 -- have been purchased by the Mariano's chain. Jewel has bought some, and has indicated it might buy more, but right now there's been no announced buyer for the store at Essington and Caton Farm roads.
