Don't know if this is helpful or not but I found a reference to, using the Chicago Tribune Historical Archives, a food store located at 5032 N. Long. In a 1957 article it lists the store as Woji's Midwest Food Mart and an ad from 1970 as well as an article from 1973 lists the name as Long Foods or Long Food Mart.

The building wasn't torn down, but rebuilt as a private residence. We moved into the neighborhood in 1989, and it still had some store accoutrements in it, but had been closed for some time. About 5 or 6 years later the building had been rebuilt as a single-family residence, and you wouldn't know it had been a grocery store.
