"We're in such a great spot for quality food with not only the Ypsilanti restaurant scene but also being between two well-known foodie towns like Ann Arbor and Detroit. This entire area has a highly diverse community of restaurants. So in order to cater to the market, you need to have a huge inventory supplying everyone with any and all of the freshest product available. This is precisely what we excel in, especially with prices as low as ours," says Gary Stilglitz, Director of operations.
Early plans for the grand opening events are under way as well and will include local guest appearances and special deals when the doors open.
