119th & Marshfield Location to Serve Multiple Communities

(Itasca, Ill.) July 9, 2009 — JEWEL-OSCO, a leading Midwest food and drug retailer,
continues its commitment to serving the community, with the opening of its new “green”
store, which has received GreenChill Gold Certification from the EPA.

Located at 119th and Marshfield, on Chicago’s far south side, the designation
recognizes the store’s eco-friendly refrigeration system.

JEWEL-OSCO also designed its new “green” store according to strict standards for
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), established by the United
States Green Building Council. The store includes the following “green” elements:

• A “green” roof with vegetation beds for energy conservation and storm water run-
off reduction
• Water-saving fixtures and faucets
• Energy-efficient lighting, heating and air conditioning
• A ventilation system that incorporates natural and mechanical means to enhance
air quality inside of the store
• The use of regional and recycled materials during construction
• Over 90 percent of construction debris separated for recycling
• Preferred parking for low-emission, fuel-efficient vehicles

“Wherever possible, we’re focused on building environmentally friendly technology into
our new and remodeled stores,” said JEWEL-OSCO President Keith Nielsen. “We’re
confident this facility will provide customers with a convenient and pleasant shopping
experience.”

Chicago Alderman Carrie Austin (34th) also praised the opening of the new store in the
community.

"I am pleased more ‘green’ initiatives are expanding on the far south side of the city,”
said Alderman Austin. “The new JEWEL-OSCO ‘green’ store will add to that growing
trend in the 34th Ward, which is certainly an advocate for saving and preserving our
environment."

The Marshfield location is JEWEL-OSCO’s second “green” store. The first opened in
September of 2008 at 370 N. Desplaines, in Chicago’s Fulton River District, and is
LEED certified.

During the ribbon cutting ceremony at its new “green” store, JEWEL-OSCO donated a

recipients were Sheldon Heights Church of Christ and Christ Cathedral Baptist Church.
