About Treasure Island Foods

Christ Kamberos and his brother opened the first Chicago Treasure Island store in 1963 in Lakeview, a bustling, multi-ethnic neighborhood on the lake. Their mission was to provide a supermarket that would combine the conventional with the best of specialty, imported and domestic products at competitive prices. Their quality, selection and service quickly made Treasure Island Foods the shopping destination for people who care about food. It was the revered chef Julia Child who called Treasure Island “the most European supermarket in America”.

Today, Treasure Island Foods remains a hands-on family business with seven stores in densely populated areas of Chicago and the North Shore suburb of Wilmette. Product assortments include whatever ingredients recipes require including a large selection of organic and natural items. The store’s buyers travel the USA and Europe each year to find the “new things” and the best quality items available.
