When Patz’s Market in Hebron closed in November 2017, the small town in southern Porter County was left without a grocery store. The family-owned store had been a staple in the community for more than 50 years and was located in the Country Square Plaza shopping center on the city’s north side when it closed; the location is now home to First Church of Hebron. “If my wife tells me to stop for a gallon of milk, potatoes and a loaf of bread, normal stuff, I had to stop at two or three locations along the way,” said Hebron Town Council President John Spinks Jr., who represents Ward 3. The closest grocery retailers are in Valparaiso, Crown Point and DeMotte.
