Indiana Grocery Group, LLC and Tysen’s Country Market, Inc. have announced today that they have entered into an agreement in which Indiana Grocery Group intends to purchase Tysen’s Country Market in Demotte Indiana.

Indiana Grocery Group currently operates 20 stores in Northwest Indiana under the names of Strack & Van Til and Town & Country Market.

Jeff Strack, President/CEO of Indiana Grocery Group said, “we expect that it will be business as usual for the Tysen’s employees. We believe this represents an outstanding opportunity for Strack and Van Til as well as for all the employees of Tysen’s Country Market. We are excited to be part of the Demotte community.”
