Their location in Schaumburg was exactly that---a little odd. Ingress/egress was tough, though the stores in the neighborhood weren't great (a Butera and an old Dominicks were west and north (on Golf), an Eagle was (I recall) still in Elk Grove Village to the east, a fruit market was NE on the other side of the expressway). The stores were better north of Algonquin.

All true! Which is strange, given Woodfield Mall and several offices are nearby. The Highland Park location was also oddly located - on the west side of town on Skokie Road (US 41) It was easy to miss the parking entrance from the south and impossible to get into from the north. I always wondered if Jewel infiltrated their store location department.
