I'm guessing the one on Devon is more heavily influenced toward Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern food, and I'm assuming the other two in NIles might have more Korean and Eastern European products? (Though judging from the Patel Brothers in Glenview, there's definitely a strong Indian community there, as well.) Maybe I'll check out the one on Touhy this weekend.
My wife's favorite is the one on Touhy. I haven't actually seen a lot of Asian foods, although they certainly have a little of everything. Perhaps the one on Devon is different. Touhy is more heavily focused on Baltic foods, but you'll find everything from Finland to Greece. The one in Wheeling has more Russian food.
The produce section is multiple times better than any of the big grocery stores around here. The meat and deli area is pretty amazing as well. And check out the bakery. Happy hunting!
