Zingerman's expands coffee options near Ann Arbor Airport

Concentrate, 8/27/2009

Zingerman's continues to zig and zag while it grows in Ann Arbor.

Excerpt:

People can get a cup of Zingerman's coffee in two locations, and the newest one is in one of Ann Arbor's most unlikely spots.

Zingerman's Coffee is opening a retail-and-processing site in an industrial area on Plaza Drive in the Airport Plaza Business Park next to the world famous eatery's Bake House and Creamery. The Zingerman's brand houses a family of businesses that all specialize in creating food, such as bread or coffee, and customer service.

Although the original deli serves as the official face and base of the umbrella company, many of its offshoots have facilities outside of the Kerrytown location to meet demand. Zingerman's Coffee has had to turn down business because its previous facilities weren't big enough. Its new 6,400 square feet is expected to solve that problem while giving lovers of Zingerman's coffee one more place to enjoy its product.

"One of the things we like to say is you can buy the products where they're made," says Pete Sickman-Garner, marketing manager for Zingerman's.
