Chicago: Life in the fast frame

I had no idea that a grocery store near 87th and the Dan Ryan was the setting of a Hollywood motion picture...
87th Street and the Dan Ryan Expressway ***

This former Cub Foods, as Donaldson's Grocery, is the battleground for rival assistant managers, played by Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly. Here, Scott's character confronts kids who hit him with a Yoo-hoo bottle. A typical South Chicago grocery store, cleverly used both inside and out.
The film in question is called The Promotion.

Check out other Chicago film locations in the Tribune.
