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.

When we say “fresh” roasted peanuts, we mean FRESH! Since 1953, our peanuts have been roasted in-house daily and served warm. Customers who have been coming to Joe Randazzo’s for generations say the most memorable thing about our store as kids was the smell of fresh roasted peanuts. A new peanut machine and room is one of the many updates our Detroit store location is currently undergoing. Next time you visit our store location be sure to “stop and smell the peanuts” and buy some fresh roasted peanuts to go! 🥜
We pride ourselves on having a wide selection of specialty produce that can't be found in other super markets or grocery stores. The best part is, you can get this specialty produce delivered right to your doorstep at the best prices, guaranteed!
Our specialty item of the month is Eddoes. Eddoes are a small, starchy, tropical root vegetable with a hairy inedible skin and white colored flesh. They are comparable to potatoes with a sweeter flavor and silkier, smoother texture. Eddoes are commonly eaten steamed, boiled, mashed or fried. They are popular in many soup and curry dishes. Switch up your traditional produce haul and try some of our specialty items during your next visit!
