The Edmund & Jane Scholarship was established by Julie and Bob Dobski in 2010 to honor Bob’s parents Edmund and Jane Dobski. The couple used a $600 investment from Edmund’s mother, Sophie Dobski, to start and then expand to a multi-location of three full service grocery stores on the northwest side of Chicago.
