Could you describe the history of Plum Market?
Plum Market was cofounded by brothers Matthew and Marc Jonna, third-generation grocers who grew up working in their family’s stores featuring specialty products and wine. The small chain was ultimately purchased by Whole Foods, where the brothers took on leadership roles and eventually moved on to create their own grocery store concept in 2006 with a mission focusing on natural, organic, and locally crafted items.
The first Plum Market store opened in Bloomfield, Twp., Michigan, in 2007. The store was an immediate success, and the Jonnas quickly expanded the chain to include more full-service grocery stores, small format stores, a food service division, a catering division, and a licensing division dedicated to airport locations.
