Maurice Perteete had waited in line Tuesday at the Palos Heights Jewel, only to find out the shipment was delayed. He finally got his box of sweet treats, but not without a goodwill gesture.
Maurice Perteete was among the more than 100 people on Tuesday who had expected the last boxes of Hostess Twinkies to grace the aisles of the Palos Heights Jewel-Osco. When the announcement came that the shipment was delayed until the following day, he and the many others—some who waited up to five hours—left disappointed that they had missed their chance at the store-bought confection. Hostess liquidated its assets after a bankruptcy judge gave his approval and has said it will stop making its iconic brands. Hoping beyond hope, the 42-year-old Alsip contractor returned to the Palos Heights store on Wednesday for a chance at one of the remaining one. Walking by the metal cart and undecorated cardboard packaging containing the Twinkies, …

More than 100 people came to the Palos Heights Jewel on Tuesday, expecting the sweet treat. Police were called when store management became concerned the crowd might revolt after finding out there were no Twinkies.
A shipment of Twinkies that was scheduled to arrive Tuesday is expected to hit shelves tonight at the Jewel-Osco in Palos Heights. Jewel confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the shipment will come sometime between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. The Palos Heights store is among 40 stores throughout the Chicago area scheduled to receive Twinkies tonight, said Karen May, executive communications manager for Jewel-Osco.

Nobody was upset," said Palos Heights Deputy Chief Dave Delaney. The Jewel-Osco in Palos Park sold out of …

Even Thursday's hot temperatures didn't appear to affect the enthusiasm of throngs of shoppers.
Navigating to the new Jewel-Osco store at 12803 S. Harlem Avenue in Palos Heights could have been a little tough as remnants of construction still plague the area. But that's why staff was on hand, directing people toward the entrance to the new store and giving them a lift back to their cars -- even as temperates neared 100 degrees during the store's grand opening Thursday. The new location is more than 50,000 square feet and will boast a number of new features that the old location was lacking, including a wing bar, expanded deli section, olive bar and a larger meat and seafood section. A Wendy's restaurant will begin construction after the original 45-year-old building is demolished. Irene Gram, who lives in Darien but works near the …
