Kalotis To Sell Great Lakes Foods

Two grocery wholesalers who face possible prison terms in a federal fraud case have agreed to sell a food distribution company in Menominee, Mich., the buyer of the business said Thursday.

Brothers Rassem "Russ" Kaloti and Ishaq "Isaac" Kaloti will sell Great Lakes Foods, a wholesaler serving more than 125 grocers in Upper Michigan and northeastern Wisconsin.

Buying the distributorship is Menominee businessman Tom Kuber. Great Lakes Foods employs 95 people, operates from a 220,000-square-foot building and fields a fleet of delivery trucks.

The Kalotis started Great Lakes Foods in 2000 after now-defunct wholesaler Fleming Cos. purchased a predecessor but not its warehouse.
