3241 W. Montrose Avenue, now Marie's Golden Cue, a billiards supply store
505 W. 63rd Street, now the Showers of Blessing Deliverance Center (which sounds like a marketing executive's less-offensive name for "church".)
5225 W. Lawrence Avenue, now Sportif Importer Ltd., a bicycle sales and repair shop
And finally, this poor building on Howard Avenue, now buried under metal siding. Most recently Dearborn Wholesale Grocers, LP, but now for sale.

Great shots! Is it possible to obtain the old Jewel photos?
I looked up all the addresses in a 1935 and a 1950 ad and came up with a bunch more.
From the 1935 ad, it looks like the vast majority of early Jewels were located in existing buildings. Only a few were purpose-built.
These are in rough chronological order - I'm mostly guessing here.
It's surprising to see how many of them are still grocers.
