Chicago's Newest Pete’s Fresh Market Opens on West Side
Lessie Cokley walked slowly as she made her way from the busy parking lot of the newly opened Pete’s Fresh Market grocery store at Madison Street and Western Avenue last Thursday morning amongst a constant stream of early arrivals to the store. “My arthritis is acting up but I wanted to come to this new grocery store because it offers fresh vegetables and fruit,” said Cokley who turned 65 on Thursday. “The other store I used to go to is small and doesn’t offer fresh produce. I live in walking distance so I’m glad the store is here.
