Chicago Save A Lot Stores See Further Delays

Chicago Save A Lot Delay Prompts Deadline Extension

Yellow Banana Seeks More Time to Complete Store Renovations

The Chicago Save A Lot Delay continues as Yellow Banana requests another extension to finish upgrades at six city grocery stores.

Renovation Work Nears Completion

Yellow Banana already opened five of the six Save A Lot stores. However, ongoing construction and signage issues slowed full project completion.

Some locations still need exterior signs, while the West Lawn store remains closed pending final city inspections and approvals.

City Partnership Helps Sustain Progress

The developer received $13.5 million from the city to remodel all six stores. The Chicago Save A Lot Delay reflects challenges in construction timelines.

Yellow Banana thanked city officials for their support and promised to finish work soon and shift focus to daily store operations.

Community Scrutiny and Financial Struggles

The West Garfield Park store previously faced criticism over cleanliness and product freshness. However, a recent visit confirmed improved conditions.

Meanwhile, reports of unpaid contractor bills and financial debt surfaced but were later resolved, according to Yellow Banana representatives.

Final Steps and Long-Term Commitments

The company must operate all six stores for at least 10 years to secure full city funding. With this new extension, completion looks more likely.
