Hyde Park Co-op Closing
January 31st, 2008
For those of you no longer living in Hyde Park, here are some pictures of your former grocery store the Hyde Park Co-op on it’s last day.
Chicago Center students will still have their charge account at Village Foods.
Treasure Island will be the new tenent in the former Co-op space (owned by the University of Chicago) and Hyde Park Produce has expanded into the old Co-op’s space on 53rd Street (the former Mr G’s).
The Co-op’s bankruptcy and closing made headline news across the city. Here you can see the New Orleans style funeral band marching through the aisles.
