History Opening In April 1987, Dominick's Finer Foods opened the first Omni Superstore in the Lake View Plaza in Orland Park, Illinois, at the corner of 159th Street and LaGrange Road. Dominick's created Omni Superstore in order to compete with the introduction of Cub Foods into the Chicago grocery market in the mid 1980s. Dominick's and their developers referred to Omni Superstore as a Cub Foods with more pizazz.

(Cub Foods eventually left the Chicago Market in 2006 due to anti-trust regulations; its parent company SuperValu (United States), Supervalu acquired the Jewel-Osco chain.) 17 more ...
