Our History

The history of Sunset Foods is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Cortesi family. Their commitment to customer service, exceptional quality, and competitive prices has made ‘Sunset’ synonymous with ‘superior grocery shopping’ on the North Shore – and beyond.

2021
  • After 15 years with five locations, Sunset Foods was again presented with an opportunity for expansion, this time through acquisition.
  • On December 13th, 2021, Sunset Foods purchased The Grand Food Centers. With its focus on service, quality, and community, it was a natural addition to the Sunset Foods family.
  • The Grand Foods story began in its Glencoe location in 1953, with Winnetka opening ten years later in 1963.
  • While both Grand Foods locations began under different names, in the late 1980s, both stores became known as The Grand Food Center. The previous co-owners, Dan Klebba and Kevin Salus, had 40 years in the grocery business before retiring.
