Fairplay Foods will open to shoppers in Oak Lawn at 7 a.m. Sunday, an executive with the company said Thursday. A grand opening for the store, 8700 S. Cicero Ave., is planned for Oct. 18, Mike Kozlowski, vice president of Fairplay, said.
The 52,000-square-foot store will offer a full line of groceries, including meats, produce and international foods, as well as a liquor department offering beer, wine and hard liquor, Kozlowski said.
