GEORGIA GIETZEN - PROPRIETOR
I am a lifelong resident of the Cascade/Ada neighborhood and have extensive background in food retail, having worked 15 plus years for my family's business, D&W Food Centers before it was sold to Spartan Stores in 2006. Prior to that I worked clothing retail which really helped me understand personalized service. I am passionate about great service and great products, and anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to entertain. The larger supermarket setting was always a bit of a misfit for me . . . I wanted to work in a smaller, more personalized environment where I could focus on sourcing and selling really, really great, unique products, and developing personal relationships with suppliers -- the people that produced the products I was selling. That's difficult to do in a large retail setting. I also wanted to build personal relationships with my customers. I love our "cool little market" in the heart of Ada. We're a neighborhood destination for our Starbucks coffee, special products and unique giftware. We also carry the largest selection of Michigan products in our area - we're passionate about local and regional food. There are so many great food artisans in Michigan and we're proud to know many of them personally and sell their products. We're also growing our base more regionally and becoming a destination for those same reasons. That's very exciting. We have a great crew and I'm proud to work with all of them. We have a lot of fun, we love our customers and doing what we do. I love hearing from our customers and always respond.
