Did you notice the lights out at Dillons, 517 West 27th on Wednesday evening? The store is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The store was dark just before 10 p.m. last night and had placed a notice at the entrance to inform customers in advance.

According to Mike Morley, Corporate Communications Manager with Midwest Energy, “The outage was planned — to replace a transformer serving Dillons, along with some underground wiring and tap connections. It was done at night in coordination with the businesses in that complex (includes Gambinos, a Laundromat and an insurance office) to minimize impacts to their operations.”
