Fri. January 10th, 2014 - by Christofer Oberst

<p> Jewel-Osco’s acquired Dominick’s stores have just closed on Sunday, but the company may have big plans in mind as the stores re-open under their new banner later this week if we consider its latest renovations.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Allison Sperling, Jewel-Osco spokeswoman, said that the company recently renovated 18 of its 176 stores at a cost of about $1 million apiece. These changes focus on fresher produce and better customer service, along with a larger selection of pre-cut fruit and vegetables and new juice bars that offer celery, kale, and carrot concoctions, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Although she declined to mention if new or already existing Jewel-Osco stores would be getting a similar overhaul, Sperling did say that the company will continue “to aggressively update” its appearance. Currently, the company is not looking to buy any additional Dominick’s locations, but will continue to evaluate any future opportunities that arise regarding other locations.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> The Dominick’s locations that have closed on Sunday include:<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">• 1340 S.
