When Did Dominicks Close?

Dominick's was a Chicago-area grocery store chain and subsidiary of Safeway Inc.. Dominick's distribution center was located in Northlake, Illinois, while its management offices were located in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Who bought out Dominick's?

Safeway bought Dominick's for $1.2 billion in 1998, incorporating it into the nation's second-largest chain.

Why did Dominick's go out of business?

The high cost of unionized labor at Dominick's was cited as another reason for the chain's collapse. But that couldn't have been a major factor either, because the Jewel-Osco workforce also is unionized.
