Home leisure retailer The Great Escape has opened its first superstore in the former Linens-n-Things at 15854 S.

Gold prices are soaring. So too, are the number of impromptu gold based businesses in the Southland. The high price of the metal—it's been hovering around $1,700 an ounce since late last week—has brought a new gold-buying shop to Tinley Park. We Buy and Sell Gold, which the village classifies as a jewelry store, opened recently at 7112 W. 171st St. The site was home to the village’s first and only pawn shop, which closed late in 2010 after its owner violated the terms of his arrangement with the village and purchased four antique guns. The new business' store hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's closed on Sundays. A gold buying store called K.E.
