Hiller’s introduces Green Tag Program to bring price cuts to customers

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – When times are tough, it’s not enough to sit idly by and wait for things to change. That’s why Jim Hiller, CEO of Hiller’s Markets, went directly to product manufacturers, demanding price reductions so his customers can save money at the register.

“Grocery costs have risen steadily over the past year,” says Hiller, whose family company has served metro Detroit’s grocery needs for more than 65 years. “Although I am convinced that my company’s costs will drop in the coming months, I am lowering prices in every aisle throughout my stores to help my customers weather this especially difficult period for Michigan.”

Beginning this week, green shelf tags in every aisle indicate price cuts of 10-60 percent. In concert with dozens of manufacturers, Hiller’s is cutting prices throughout its seven stores.

Nationally known as a leader in the food business, Hiller’s maintains an exceptionally high level of quality, selection and service in every department. Founded in 1941, Hiller’s has long been dedicated to meeting the needs of specific food audiences, including gluten-free, kosher, vegan, organic, gourmet and allergy-sensitive as well as unparalleled British and Japanese food sections. The company is committed to helping the communities around its stores flourish. Through the benefit of long-held relationships with producers and manufacturers, Hiller’s is able to take action today in hopes of sparking an economic recovery.

Even with reduced pricing, Hiller’s has not compromised its high standards. Departmental buyers can trace the path of every food item from origin to store shelf. Hand-selected meats are ground fresh daily, and all fish at Hiller’s was raised humanely in pristine waters. Hiller’s produce is always grown naturally and safely without fear of bacteria run-off. It is the last store perpetuating the art of grocery buying, with relationships between buyers and producers driving a humane trade.

“I have always been proud of my company, which is built on the strength of relationships with loyal customers and manufacturers,” says Jim Hiller. “In today’s tough economic climate, I am even more proud to be a Michigan business owner dedicated to rebuilding our economy.”

“A lot of our friends and neighbors are worried. The Hiller’s family will stand by our communities through this tough time, and I believe we’ll all come out on top. I am confident that we will be a significant part of the recovery and that we are headed toward healthier times,” he adds.
