During the 1990s, the Diversey Avenue Grand Bazaar was reformatted to a regular Jewel grocery store, but continued to carry some of the traditional "Grand Bazaar" features such as bulk foods.  With the reconstruction of the Brickyard Mall in 2003, the Grand Bazaar store was demolished and replaced with a smaller Jewel grocery store.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}{{original research?|date=March 2022}} Rockford, Illinois also had a Jewel Grand Bazaar that opened in 1976 and was converted to a non-union Magna store in 1983.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} That store closed in 1997.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} There was also one on Grand Ave. and Kostner Ave. on Chicago's West side.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} The last "Grand Bazaar" format store was opened in 1975 at Grand ave. and Mannheim road in Franklin Park, Illinois.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} This building is currently{{when|date=July 2022}} being operated as a Jewel-Osco.
