Family Pride Finer Foods Closing, Owner Blames Competition - Store located at 10601 South Pulaski Road Mt Greenwood / Chicago 

Marthaler said that doing business in Chicago was difficult, particularly considering Family Pride competes with suburban stores. Plastic bag restrictions, minimum wage increases and bottled water taxes all put his business at a disadvantage, he said.

MOUNT GREENWOOD — The line at the deli counter of Family Pride Finer Foods was long on Wednesday and so were the faces.

The small grocery store at 10601 S. Pulaski Road in Mount Greenwood told employees on Monday that the store would soon close.

"It's just the competition — competition with Jewel. I have five Jewels within a 2-mile radius, not to mention Pete's Fresh Market and Mariano's," said Bob Marthaler, who's owned the store for the last 16 years.
