A 12-stall Supercharger is planned at the Meijer grocery store in Mokena. Found this in a planning board meeting from last month:

Route 30 and Wolf Rd is a fairly busy intersection. Lots of people prefer taking 30 instead of 80 when going between IL and IN. That said, the intersection of routes 30 and 45 in Frankfort or the 30 and 80 intersection in New Lenox/Joliet would have probably been better spots.
Took a look around today, no signs of construction activity yet. Tesla map says Q4 2022, so might be a while before anything starts.
Agree that this is a so-so spot at first glance. There are getting to be a lot of Tesla's down this way but essentially everyone (90%+?) in the area has a garage that they likely charge in. I think they would have been better off in the parking lot at the Holiday Inn at 191st and Lagrange (just off 80). To be fair, with how miserable 80 can be, I know a lot of people bounce off and come down route 30 anyway. Panda Express and McAlisters deli across the parking lot for those looking to get a bite while they charge. Crossing Wolf there is not super pedestrian friendly, but could wander over to Chipotle, Meatheads, or Panera. We tend to just wander Meijer and get snacks, groceries, or random shopping done at the other superchargers that are in Meijer lots.
More progress today. Trench fully cut out for the chargers plus a lot of work for the cabinets and conduit.
Fences are down as of a couple days ago. It appears to be open. I didn't have time to do a quick test charge and it isn't on the map yet.
What gives it the appearance of being open? Were the red TESLA logos illuminated? Were cars plugged in?
After seeing you guys talk about this, I took a drive over there to check it out. ComEd was there and I was able to talk to him for a little bit. Said he was there to hook up the meter and it would likely be online as late as Monday!!

Sorry, didn't see your reply until just now. Fences were finally down and the chargers were uncovered with no cones in front. For other openings I've seen, they have left either the covers on or placed cones until they were powered up after the fences came down. Unfortunately, as others have said since, still underpowered as of a couple days ago. Went by there on my bike today at lunch and nobody was charging. Any day now presumably.
Yeah, tried again late this morning while I was running errands over there
Not much to report, still not operational. Did get some fresh landscaping though!
