Goodbye July and hello August. It’s Back to School time, and your assignment is to get your students ready to learn — with everything they need at your local Strack & Van Til Food Market.

Take a lesson in simplicity and convenience with Deli Department lunch options and quick breakfast ideas, plus grocery section snacks and school supplies — all under one roof.

Planning to pack a lunch for yourself or the kids? Pick up Grab and Go lunchmeats and cheeses without the wait or have them sliced to your liking at the Strack & Van Til deli counter.

“We’ll slice your deli meat the way you like it — sandwich sliced, thin or shaved — so you can create your perfect sandwich,” says Deli Director Kristin Snow. “Ham and Swiss, turkey and Colby Jack or bologna and American are time-honored favorites, and we also have a wide variety of specialty meats and cheeses to add a little fun to lunch.”

Take the midday meal a grade above with spicy pineapple ham, Cubano smoked ham, cherrywood smoked ham, herb and garlic chicken breast or Cajun turkey. Pair them with the perfect sandwich breads from King’s Hawaiian or with an assortment of pita or wraps. The Strack & Van Til Deli even offers Atoria brand wraps for the carb conscious.

Don’t want more homework? Save time with pre-made sandwiches.

“The Deli Department offers kids’ box lunches, which include two King’s Hawaiian mini sandwiches made with ham or turkey, a bag of individual chips, a dessert snack and a juice box in a clever lunch box for only $4.99,” notes Snow. “Many adults also love this no-hassle and all-inclusive lunch.”

Try a $6 store-made sub that’s in a delicious class by itself. Made with freshly delivered Turano rolls in Italian, ham or turkey varieties, this tasty item also is available as a half sub for only $3.50.

Prefer an easy-to-eat wrap? The selections at the Strack & Van Til Deli are a study in flavor. Buffalo chicken, chicken Caesar, Italian or turkey club wraps go well with Mini Baby Bel snacking cheeses, Laughing Cow cheese wedges, Sabra Hummus or Guacamole snacking cups. There are also deli string cheeses, cheese curds and cheese crisps. Add a Van Holten’s Pickle or Oh Snap! Pickles, carrots, cool beans or pickled peas for a lunch that deserves extra credit.

While you’re at Strack & Van Til save time and check school supplies off your list.

“We have you covered for school essentials,” says Strack & Van Til Center Store Sales Manager Darren Kinach. “This week, we have specials on notebooks, folders, crayons and glue.”

This year, Strack and Van Til will partner with Kellogg’s Mission Tiger program and help fund select local middle schools’ sports programs. Plus, keep an eye out for Tony the Tiger in select stores Aug. 15-17.
