Building one of the largest produce retailers in the Midwest
In 1956, Joe Randazzo opened his first store on the corner of Mound Road and Outer Drive in Detroit.
He was born, Giuseppe Randazzo, in Terrisini, Sicily on Jan. 5, 1927, the son of Salvatore and Maria Randazzo. In January of 1953, at age 26, Giuseppe immigrated to the United States. Like so many others, he heard about America and the opportunities that lie within. With determination and courage that became legendary, he set sail to America to fulfill his dreams.
As a stowaway on a freighter, Giuseppe was locked in a small dark room, next to the engines for almost 30 days. A friend worked in the kitchen and brought Giuseppe food when he could. At one time, he went without food or water for almost five days, because his friend that worked in the kitchen had taken ill and was unable to bring Giuseppe any provisions.
Finally, after a grueling voyage, the ship docked in New Orleans for repairs. That's when Giuseppe got off the ship. Soon after, he arranged to live with his uncle, Antonio Bommarito, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and eventually became an American citizen.
His first job was at the Ford Motor Company in Wayne, Michigan, where he worked on the assembly line. He saved enough money to buy a used truck and began peddling fruit & vegetables up and down the streets of Detroit. Not surprisingly, his business flourished and his many customers from nearby auto plants and neighborhoods would look forward to seeing Joe daily with his fresh produce.
Throughout the years, Joe Randazzo’s Fruit & Vegetable Market underwent several expansions to meet the needs of his never ending line of customers. In November of 1993, Joe purchased a nursery on Romeo Plank Road, at 25 Mile, in Macomb Township; another accomplishment after the success of the fruit and produce businesses.
Joe loved to work, and the nursery business became his pride and joy. He continued to lead his family business until his death at age 88, in 2015.
Joe’s four children remain committed to running the business with his values and developing the upcoming third generation, his grandchildren. There are now five locations throughout the Metropolitan Detroit area.
Joe Randazzo’s has been awarded the highest business rating in the produce industry from Blue Book Online Services (BBOS).
And the rest they say..... is History.
Baby bananas are only about 3-4 inches in length and are also referred to as "Mini Bananas" or "Lady Finger Bananas".
In comparison to regular bananas, they have a thinner peel, smoother texture, and a sweeter and richer taste. Their rich flavor can even be described as having hints of vanilla and caramel undertones.
Baby bananas are very versatile fruits with their sweet taste and creamy texture. Their sweet taste makes them the perfect for a grab and go snack and it's creamy and rich texture allows for a perfect dessert banana.
Some popular recipes with baby bananas include pudding, muffins, bread, pancakes, ice cream, smoothies, baby food, cookies and tarts.

Our specialty item of the month is Jackfruit.
Jackfruit is commonly used as a plant-based meat alternative because it soaks up flavor well and has a stringy “meat-like” texture when cooked. It is a tropical fruit with a versatile texture and has a taste similar to a cross of banana, mango and pineapple.

White asparagus is treated like a king of vegetables and is considered a rare delicacy. Chefs appreciate it for its mild and delicate flavor, in comparison to green asparagus. White asparagus is typically simmered and topped with hollandaise, vinaigrette, or a simple lemon and butter dressing.
White asparagus is also known as the vampire of the vegetable world because it’s grown in complete sun deprivation. It's covered in a thick layer of mulch and dark plastic, and because photosynthesis never takes place the spears never turn green.
White asparagus, along with many other specialty vegetables are currently sold at all locations and available for home delivery on our website. While supplies last, prices may be subject to change.
WHITE ASPARAGUS $1.99/LB
