This was always ran by Strack and Van Til out of northwest Indiana. Ultra was originally their answer to Cub Foods; warehouse type store, bag you own groceries, etc. Store opened as Cub in the mid 80s until the early 2000s, when they switched to the Ultra name. I'm not sure why they chose to run this store as Cub and not Ultra since the latter was located a few miles east in Highland, Indiana, and was well-known by those in the Lansing/Calumet City area. They even closed on Sundays like all of their stores did until 1998 or 1999.
That used to be a super popular place. Ultra Foods took it over after Cub Foods. Hardly any grocery stores left in Cal City and Lansing.
I used to work at this store. I worked there for 21 years.
I missed thisssss store

I work at ultra foods Chicago Heights i heard cub foods came to strack and vantil offer them franchise and free building out of the deal
Never heard of Ultra Foods but I loved the Cub Foods that was once I believe off of Rand Rd, then turned into Omni Foods which was equal good
I remember back in the day ultra foods had a fifth third bank booth but I've never seen a boost mobile
Ultra Foods was okay at first, then got janky. There was one in my town.
I think it was a cub foods before
