Joe Randazzo's Detroit market is more than a place to shop for fresh produce. It is the company's flagship store, corporate headquarters, and the center of its shipping, receiving and quality-control operations.
The Randazzo family has operated from this East Outer Drive location since 1973. It was the company's second market, following the original Mound Road location that opened in 1953.
Today, the store continues to serve the Osborn neighborhood and shoppers from across Detroit, Hamtramck, Highland Park, Harper Woods, Eastpointe, Warren, Ferndale and nearby communities.
The Detroit market has an open-air, working-market atmosphere shaped by its history. Wood details, vintage farm equipment and terminal-style receiving areas reflect the way produce has moved through the business for generations.
Near the front entrance, shoppers will find the Randazzo family's original custom-built peanut machine. Now retired, the machine roasted peanuts for approximately 70 years and remains part of the store's story.
The market has also become a familiar gathering place for the surrounding community. Neighbors stop in for groceries, meet after Sunday church services and catch up with people they have known for years.
Shop staples such as apples, bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, peppers, greens and fresh herbs. Bulk case pricing is available on many items for families, events, community organizations and large-volume shoppers.
When available, the market carries produce grown in Michigan and nearby areas of Ohio, Indiana and Ontario. Seasonal selections may include apples, berries, sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, pumpkins and hard squash.
Find ingredients used across many cuisines, including bok choy, daikon, Chinese and Indian eggplant, plantains, tomatillos, chayote, yucca, specialty mushrooms, tropical fruits and fresh herbs. Selection varies throughout the year.
The store also carries available breads, dairy products, cheeses, imported Italian foods, Middle Eastern staples, Hispanic grocery products, Asian pantry ingredients and Michigan-made foods.
Start with the produce that looks good, then find a simple way to use it. Explore recipes built around fresh fruits, vegetables and seasonal ingredients available throughout the market.
Shipping, receiving and quality control for Joe Randazzo's are centered at the Detroit location.
