Jet Foods, a new independent grocer developed by a familiar name in the suburban supermarket business, is preparing to launch its first store in Carol Stream by the end of the month.
John Everest Thomas, CEO of Chicago-based parent company Freedom Development Group, is starting the chain with Nat Caputo, who operated the shuttered Joe Caputo & Sons stores.
Thomas Jet stands for his initials and Caputo are charting ambitious expansion plans. A Park Forest store is slated to open six weeks after the Carol Stream debut. They re also eyeing additional stores in Rockford and south suburban Harvey, hoping to eventually expand to Indiana and Minneapolis.
