Hiller’s: The premier source for Gluten-Free Everything
Pizza, beer, noodles, bread…… The list of products containing gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, barley and oats that gives the crumbly texture to bread, is long. And for the 1 in 133 Americans diagnosed with Celiac Disease – and untold others who suffer gastric distress, bloating, gas, headaches and other ailments when they ingest gluten – finding good food to eat is an arduous task.
It has long been my mission to make Hiller’s the place to go for gluten-free shoppers. We sell thousands of gluten-free products . You’ll find them in every aisle and they include baked goods, beer, pizza and pasta.
With Hiller’s as your partner, food can once again become your friend. And you don’t have to spend hours in the grocery, squinting at labels, uncertain as to whether gluten might be hidden somewhere inside. Hiller’s makes it easy to find good gluten-free food. Just imagine a life that no longer requires giving up all of the foods you’ve missed for so long!
Look for our special shelf tags, designating products free of gluten. If you can’t find something on our shelves, let us know and we’ll get it. It’s hard enough to find quality foods. Let Hiller’s be your partner in gluten-free living. At Hiller’s, you can find everything on your list and walk away happy.
Yours truly,
A Customer’s Perspective: MIRIAM COHEN
Five years ago I learned that I have celiac disease. I’ll never forget the words of my doctor, “the good news is that we know what your problem is – the bad news is that you will have to be on a gluten-free diet forever!”
In those days there were very few resources available to explain a gluten-free diet. The internet was my best source. Today, the diet has become a household word and people are opting to follow the diet just because it makes them feel better. Fortunately, more and more food products are available for the gluten-free consumers.
Hiller’s Markets has been my gluten-free source since my early diagnosis. I appreciate the distinctive labels they created to highlight the food throughout the store. On behalf of their gluten-free customers, I applaud Hiller’s efforts to provide us with the widest variety of high quality, great tasting gluten-free foods.
Now, if only they could find a gluten-free replica of the Sanders bumpy cake!
