Mariano's, Whole Foods, and Jewel are already in the area so it would probably be a specialty grocer. Maybe West Loop will finally get a Trader Joe's? Could also be Dom's Market. Plum Market is looking for a new space after getting kicked out of Wells St store.
Really if West Loop gets another grocery store, it should be further west. East part of Fulton Market doesn't have a huge concentration of residential, it's mostly office/hotel. The real donut hole for grocery is further west on Randolph, which is also where most of the residential growth is. I would love to see grocery in the Plumbers garage, or in one of the new Marquette apartment buildings around Union Park. You can't buy everything at Peoria Packing...
