Jewel-Osco is a decent neighborhood grocery chain located at 1500 S Lee St in Des Plaines. It offers a full-service experience with a bakery featuring custom cakes, a deli with party trays, a butcher block with meat and seafood, and a produce department. The pharmacy provides immunizations and prescription refills. Grocery delivery and DriveUp & Go™ are available.
Prices are moderate with good sales, and the weekly mailer and app offer digital coupons for better deals. Specific good deals include three containers of fruit for $12.99 and good milk prices. The produce is mostly very good. The aisles are easy to navigate.
The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, especially at the service desk and pharmacy, with team members often willing to help customers find items. One manager was noted as unprofessional in the past, but that appears to have changed. It is recommended to avoid shopping on Saturdays due to horrendous parking and long lines. Overall, it is a favorite and recommended grocery store for many.
Please place paper towels for use near the produce. Super wet produce now I need wipe my hands on my pants with debris and produce water.

This is not my regular food store but I ran in for chicken and some other items I forgot. Prices seemed high but no worse than other local stores. Assisted check out was fast.
