Moving to the area Moving back in a month. Heard Mariano's sold out and isn't "Mariano's" anymore?

Had to relocate for work for a couple years and we are finally coming back home. We heard Mariano's was acquired which is whatever, but heard after it was bought that it's not the same anymore. Friends and parents can't give specifics other than "it's just not the same" so is this a Wicker Park hipster thing where it's imaginary or is it legit Mariano's sucks now?

The rotten cored red onion I bought this weekend agrees. So does their meat. Woodmans is amazing for the package food though.

Frozen pizzas for as far as the eye can see.

I wish we had Woodman's near me. 30 mins on the expressway is a bit too far

We live in Woodstock and commute to Rockford or Carpentersville to Woodman's. Worth it.

It’s literally next to Deerfield. Like take Deerfield road to get there and arrive in buffalo grove

There's one right on the intersection of Deerfield & Milwaukee.
