New Grocery Store Coming To Morton Grove

MORTON GROVE, IL - Many of you may have seen the recent activity on the southeast corner of Dempster Street and Waukegan Road. According to village officials, it's the walls of a new grocery store.

The new grocery store will be located inside the new Sawmill Station Shopping Center, which is currently under construction. Because the grocer required a non-disclosure agreement, village officials said they aren't able to reveal the name of the store - at least not yet.

In May, village trustees granted final approval to a redevelopment plan to transform the site of the former Prairie View Plaza into the Sawmill Station Shopping Center, a new mixed-use shopping, dining and entertainment area.

The $150 million plan involves demolishing everything on the site, except for the Bank of America, before erecting several new buildings with 200,000 square feet of retail space and a 250-unit luxury apartment building.

Sawmill Station is set to include a 35,000-square-foot grocery store, an LA Fitness Signature health club, a Kohl's department store, a Flix Brewhouse micro-brewery and nine-screen movie theater, a Cooper's Hawk winery and restaurant, a Raisin' Cane restaurant, a Ross store and a Dollar Tree, among other tenants, according to the developers and village staff.
