Seven Save A Lot stores in Chicago’s South and West sides are on the brink of closure this Saturday, threatening communities already struggling with food access. The company, Yellow Banana, faces a deadline to secure new investment after the sudden death of CEO Joseph Canfield triggered a default on its city redevelopment deal. These stores, many opened just two years ago and renovated with tax incentives, are now at risk of becoming another blow to Chicago’s fight against food deserts — especially as some locations, like the Englewood store, already faced neighborhood backlash over the brand’s reputation. With officials scrambling and time running out, the next few days could determine whether these vital grocery hubs survive or shutter, leaving thousands without reliable access to fresh food.
