Maribel Moreno-Musillami, founder and owner of Purely Meat Co., watches chef Matt Ronan tie up a Wagyu prime rib cut last month in Chicago.

• Erin Hooley, Chicago Tribune

• Abel Uribe, Chicago Tribune

Employees at the first Amazon Fresh grocery store in Naperville, Ill., last month fulfill online orders for home delivery and curbside pick up.
