It's officially called "Potash Gourmet 44," and is not surprisingly located on the 44th floor of the building. To access it, you must be a resident of the Hancock Center, or an accompanied guest. You have to go past the security checkpoint on the ground floor lobby, and then the receptionist on the 44th floor sky lobby.
The most active portion of the grocery store is the deli. Hancock Center office workers can access the deli via a freight elevator and the back door. The deli offers the usual selection of sliced meats and cheeses, as well as a choice of hot entrees and sides that change daily. At one time there was made-to-order pizza, but it wasn't very good and has since been discontinued.
Potash Gourmet 44 is undoubtedly the city's highest grocery store. But is it the world's highest? It's hard to say. It is traditional for people in the Chicago area to declare things the "first" (as in mall), "biggest" (as in block party), or some other superlative without it actually being true. So in the interest of localism, I formally declare Potash Gourmet 44 is the world's highest grocery store. Challenges are welcome.
