“On behalf of the City of Chicago, I want to congratulate Bob Mariano on his retirement. As someone who has worked closely with Bob, I know firsthand just how strongly he believes in the economic potential of every community and just how hard he has worked to bring great service and great opportunities to residents throughout Chicago. Bob may be retiring, but with more than 30 grocery stores in just as many neighborhoods, his impact will continue to be felt throughout Chicago. Bob is a dedicated Chicagoan, and I'm proud to say he's a true friend. I wish him and his family nothing but the best as they start this new chapter.”
