Itasca, Illinois-based Jewel Food Stores operates Jewel-Osco, a Midwest grocery retailer. The chain runs 188 stores across Chicagoland, Indiana, and Iowa, and sits within a nationwide network of more than 2,200 stores. Its origins date to 1899, when Frank Ross and Frank Skiff launched the Jewel Tea Company as a door-to-door tea and coffee business, evolving into a regional grocer. The company functions within Albertsons Inc.'s portfolio, emphasizing provision of products customers want at fair prices across its markets. A recent development includes a 2025 voluntary recall of multiple tuna salad products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
