OUR COMMITMENT
Here's a thing or two about our commitment to offering the very best selections of natural, organic, local, and specialty items in a full-service shopping experience:

• Our produce buyers purchase only the freshest produce, emphasizing local and organic products.
  
  
• We feature all natural meats including Grass Fed and All Natural Angus beef, Bell & Evans poultry, and Duroc pork.
  
  
• Our Seafood Department is stocked with jet-fresh selections delivered straight from the docks to our doors, everyday.
  
  
• Our house chefs use these very same meats and farm fresh vegetables in a collection of both time-honored and contemporary global dishes.
  
  
• Our wine department features the best selection, the best service, and the best values in the state.

This is only a sampling of what you’ll find at Plum Market, where we offer everything you need to live well, with taste.

OUR PARTNERS
Zingerman's | Swirlberry | Mon Jin Lau
We've hand selected what we feel are the best companies to help represent the face of Plum Market. We embrace their quality products, exceptional ingredients, local roots, and not to mention, they're all really cool people. Each of our partner's share our commitment to offering the best selection to our guests. Enjoy!

Zingerman's

We're psyched about Zingerman's products which is why we make them so prominent in our stores. They're a local company (Ann Arbor, MI) which we support immensely. But even more so, their products are simply phenomenal!

Swirlberry

Swirlberry is an entirely new yogurt experience (think of the yogurt craze sweeping both coasts). Swirlberry frozen yogurt has a smooth creamy texture, and the tart and tangy tast that only real yogurt has, with live active cultures and probiotics. It is gluten-free, fat free, and only 29 calories per ounce. Check out the Swirlberry yogurt bar in our West Bloomfield and Ann Arbor stores.

Mon Jin Lau
"Hour Detroit's 2008 Restaurant of the Year"

Mon Jin Lau is known for their Nu Asian cuisine, and more so, for their sushi. That's why we have a Mon Jin Lau sushi kitchen built in to each of our stores, so that we can deliver the best known and freshest sushi to you. Mon Jin Lau sushi chefs create artful presentations of your favorite sushi each and everyday. The result: fabulous!

THINK LOCAL, EAT LOCAL, SHOP LOCAL
We're often asked about our corporate provenance.

We're locally owned! Matt & Marc Jonna made a clear and conscious business decision to start Plum Market right here in Michigan. They are from Michigan, their families are here in Michigan, and it was very important to them both that Plum Market would have its beginnings in Michigan.

We feature locally made products and we support other locally owned businesses! Whether it's a farm like Garden Works or Maple Creek, or someone who has a little wider distribution like Al Dente Pasta, or something on an even bigger scale like Eden Foods, we believe we should support, promote and highlight our fellow Michigan businesses.

And for the record, when we say local, we mean MICHIGAN. Other folks in town may consider the entire Midwest region to be local, and that's fine for them. But we think that Michigan has a lot going for it, and has great things in its future, and we want to support other Michigan business owners whenever we can.

THE LEGACY
After eight years’ sabbatical from the Merchant of Vino family business days, brothers Matt and Marc Jonna sought to introduce an exciting new concept in grocery shopping with their first Plum Market store opening in March 2007 in Bloomfield Twp. Since then they've opened one store in Ann Arbor and one store in West Bloomfield.

The philosophy is simple. Says Matt, “We have set out to create a grocery experience like no other. We believe that choice is paramount, and our product selection reflects that.” Mixing the very best in natural, organic, specialty and local products, the aisles are filled with inviting aromas and unexpected delights.

Having learned the art of merchandising from their father during the Merchant of Vino days, every detail has been attended to.

Perhaps produce is the perfect example of the Jonna craft. Simply entering the produce department arouses the senses. Depending on the season, it is the perfume of strawberries or the fragrance of ripe peaches or the crisp clean scent of fresh lettuces and greens that draws you in. Under the direction of brother Marc, Plum Market’s produce buyers are down at the terminal in the wee hours of the morning, picking the fruits and vegetables that will grace the display tables. Impeccable freshness, incomparable quality—Plum Market will accept nothing less. Our selection of organically grown fruits and vegetables is incomparable. And our commitment to the sourcing the local community is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the Produce Department. Michigan growers are highlighted and showcased, and Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables are given prominence in the department. As soon as it is in season, for as long as it is in season, you can find the best that Michigan has to offer at Plum Market.

This is not your neighborhood supermarket. It is much, much more. In short, Plum Market and the Jonnas want nothing less than to revolutionize the way your family shops for food.
