“I am pleased that Strack & Van Til is acquiring the stores. Strack’s corporate culture parallels the way we do business. They are a local company that has a commitment to the communities we serve in Northwest Indiana,” Don Weiss, president of WiseWay Supermarkets, said in a statement.
Strack & Van Til said the PayLow store in Merrillville would be closed temporarily to allow for remodeling. It said it would also complete a renovation currently underway at a WiseWay in Valparasio, Ind.
Both WiseWay and Strack & Van Til are supplied by Central Grocers, Joliet, Ill.
