Jewel is working on a deal to keep providing discounted gas for its grocery store shoppers.
Jewel Express gas stations in the Chicago market, including the one off Nelson Road in New Lenox, were sold last month to the company that owns Circle K, according to a news release from the company.

Speedway LLC is the potential buyer of multiple Gas City stations in the area, including Frankfort, Mokena and New Lenox, according to court documents.
