A Trader Joe’s will open in the building that was formerly occupied by shuttered grocer Treasure Island at Lake Park Avenue and 54th Place, the University of Chicago and Trader Joe’s announced on Monday. Trader Joe’s plans to open the store this coming fall.
This will be the first Trader Joe’s on the South Side of Chicago, and the chain’s sixth location in the city. Currently, its southernmost store in Chicago is in South Loop.

But a new grocery is set to take Treasure Island’s spot. It will open its first Chicago outpost in the process.
The store, Peter Rubi, will open next year at 811 W. Montrose Ave.

Apparently the husband was diagnosed with cancer back in2013, and given 8 months to live, and he radically changed his diet, along with medical intervention, and was able to go into remission. Eleven months after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, their house burnt down, and they lost everything, and so they have been through a lot.
