Hiller’s Markets Hosts Gluten-Free Food Fair

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – As the local leader in gluten-free groceries, Hiller’s Markets will host a gluten-free food fair October 18 at its Plymouth store.

One in 133 Americans endure Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder which causes the intestine to attack itself in response to wheat, rye and barley. Many more people cannot tolerate gluten, the substance which gives bread its crumbly texture. Eating gluten-containing foods can result in stomach pains, skin outbreaks, bone loss or headaches.

Nationally known as a leader in providing an extensive variety of gluten-free products, Hiller’s regularly hosts Gluten-Free Food Fairs. Shoppers drive from miles around, and even out-of-state, to sample new products, learn from vendor exhibits, meet with members of the Tri-County Celiac Support Group, gain information and obtain gluten-free recipes and the quarterly Hiller’s Gluten-Free Newsletter.

“Imagine learning you cannot eat foods you’ve always enjoyed,” says Jim Hiller, CEO of Hiller’s Markets. “And then realizing you’ll have to drive to many stores to get the groceries you need – or worse, search the Internet for items you can’t find in a store. It is my priority to give my customers everything they need, all in one place.”

Hiller’s offers the most extensive selection of gluten-free items in metro Detroit – and they’re marked by Gluten-Free shelf tags to identify them in every aisle.

Founded in 1941 with a commitment to quality, service and selection, Hiller’s operates seven stores in metro Detroit. It has long been a company philosophy to meet the needs of challenged food audiences. Hiller’s stocks an increasing array of foods for customers with nut, dairy and wheat allergies as well as those who follow a kosher diet. The Hiller’s dedication to specialty palates includes unparalleled and impressive British and Japanese food sections.

Hiller’s works in concert with the Tri County Celiac Support Group. Group leaders laud Hiller’s for being the first grocery in the area to aggressively market to gluten-free consumers and affirms that it maintains the largest selection in the Midwest.

“It’s hard enough to find good quality foods,” says Hiller. “At Hiller’s, you can find everything on your list and walk away happy.”
