File:New Freshmart Grocery Store, Northbrook, 1985 (29019736956).jpg

English: The new Northbrook Freshmart was built by Richard and Olive Hook in 1985. The original store built by Lulu & Casper Thompson. Richard & Olive Hook purchased the original Thompson store from Ron and Shirley Sedore in 1979 and operated it as a Lucky Dollar Foodstore under the store name of Delibrook. The Delibrook was eventually demolished with the building of the new Freshmart in 1985. Tracy Hook (Hook's Homes) sold the Nascor insulated walls for the Freshmart and helped his father build the new store. When the Freshmart opened Richard & Olive Hook sold bread at the special price of $.65/loaf.

At the time of this photo the parking lot was still gravel with the old well still in the middle of the parking lot. The wing to the south of the store (left in photo) was later incorporated into the large addition when the store became an IGA.
The Freshmart was later sold to Bob and Marg Glecoff in 1988 for an IGA and later Foodland.
