Near West Side Jewel-Osco Closed After Rodents Found

A Near West Side Jewel-Osco store was shut down after health officials found rodents during an inspection on Tuesday. 

The Chicago Department of Public Health performed an inspection at the Jewel-Osco store at 1220 S. Ashland Ave. and “found rodents,” according to a statement from the department. 

“As a result, Jewel will remain closed until CDPH determines the location has met code standards,” the department wrote in the statement. “CDPH will continue to work with the supermarket.” 

A representative for Jewel-Osco did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday morning.
