Ok, it's now official - Southport & Addison
Jewel will be closing it's doors on June 26th at 4 pm. But don't cry, it will only be temporarily closed ;). The plan is to tear down the existing building and build a brand new combo Jewel-Osco. I seen the artist rendition of what the new store looks like and it's gonna be pretty sweet...there will be two floors with liquor being on top plus underground parking...FREAKING UNDERGROUND PARKING...WOOHOO :D!!!
By now you all are anxious to find out what happens to me. You are anxious to find out...right???? Well, because the store is closing, we are all gonna be split up between several other Jewel stores. I am kinda sad over this because I will miss my friends from Southport a bunch :(. The good news is that I will be transferred to Western Ave. which is considerably closer to home...scoreeeeeeeee!!! I was a bit worried about being lonely over there but F. from the front end service desk/cashier is being transferred with me as well as D. in produce who is a really cool guy. I wish that C. was coming with us but he got transferred to a different location. I am gonna miss goofing around with him :(.
Well, we are having an employee appreciation lunch on Saturday (yay free food!) and I will find out whether or not I leave for the new store after the 15th or will be staying til the bitter end. I gotta remember to bring my camera and take some pix of the old store for my memories.
Is it weird to be both excited and happy, yet a bit sad over this???
