About Strack & Van Til
Our Story started in the late 1950’s when Ernie Strack and Nick Van Til owned separate grocery stores in Northwest Indiana. Drawn together by a common ambition to create a more exciting shopping experience for customers they joined forces in 1959 to create Strack & Van Til. Inspired by the idea of creating a modern supermarket Ernie and Nick acquired a 10-acre piece of land in Highland Indiana to build their dream. More than 50 years later Strack & Van Til grocery stores are a cornerstone of communities throughout Northwest Indiana and Illinois. For more information visit http://www.strackandvantil.com
