Seven Save A Lot stores in Chicago’s South and West sides could shutter as soon as Saturday after Yellow Banana, their operator, cited steep losses and a 26% drop in SNAP transactions. The city’s $13.5 million tax-funded investment—meant to boost access to healthy food in underserved areas—is now at risk unless another grocer takes over within a set window. Residents are panicking, emptying shelves as they scramble to stock up, while officials blame federal SNAP cuts and the sudden death of Yellow Banana’s CEO. The city is urgently hunting for a new operator to keep these vital grocery hubs open, leveraging existing infrastructure to reopen them fast.
