Jewel-Osco knows how to throw a party—and on March 15, they did just that with their F.A.B (Food & Beverage) Women Celebration at their Elmhurst store! The spotlight was on some seriously awesome women-owned and women-led brands, and shoppers got to sip, snack, and sample their way through goodies from Cooper Street Snacks, Bonafide Provisions, Dalmatia® Authentic Croatian Spreads, Simek's, and more. The energy was off the charts with live music from Paige Kizer and the Sophie Hafer Duo, a visit from Robin Rock of 93.9 LITE FM, and some fun raffles. Plus, shoppers got to tap into their inner florist with a hands-on bouquet-making experience, thanks to Jewel-Osco’s talented floral team. And in the best kind of grand finale, Jewel-Osco donated $25,000 to the WINGS Program, Inc. to support survivors of domestic violence. Huge love to Jewel-Osco for not just stocking their shelves with amazing women-owned brands, but for celebrating and uplifting them in such a big way!
