Hiller’s Union Lake Store Highlights Local Products and Vendors at Michigan Food Fair

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – “There is so much talent in the state of Michigan – as a business owner, I am honored to highlight the hard work of my neighbors and support our economy by buying their products,” says Hiller’s Markets CEO Jim Hiller.

On the heels of a successful Buy Michigan Week Food Fair in Northville, Hiller’s Markets will host local companies and products at its Union Lake store, with samples for shoppers, August 22-23, 12-3 p.m. As a leader in the Buy Michigan Initiative, Hiller’s has hosted four hugely successful Michigan food fairs this year.

“We are responsible for our own salvation,” says Jim Hiller, who launched the Buy Michigan initiative last year and has devoted energy and resources to featuring Michigan companies in the Hiller’s biweekly circular, launching a collaborative Hometown First program with locally-owned businesses and identifying Michigan products with special shelf tags. “Working together, we ensure the viability of this region that much faster.”
