Clarkston now has a family-owned grocery
store to call its own. Neiman’s Family
Market, located at 7121 Dixie Highway at
White Lake Road, officially opened its doors
to customers this morning at 9 a.m.
Neiman’s offers a full service deli providing
customers with select cuts meats and
cheese.
‘We thrive on special requests, and our
staff will cut the meat anyway the customers
like it,? said Marketing Coordinator Bethany
Schafer.
According to Schafer, fried chicken is a
Neiman’s specialty, and will be cooked up
daily by workers.
‘We like to say our fried chicken is better
than the colonel’s,? she insists.
Specialty food trays including gourmet
cheese spread, fiesta mix, grand garden,
shrimp cocktail, and ‘meat-and-greet? party
trays can also be ordered by customers for
special events.
Wine samplings are each Friday at the
store from 1-6 p.m. Schafer said employees
will offer customers unique first-to-market
beer and wines, favorite wines and Neiman’s
exclusive beverages. Customers can also
choose from a large beer and wine selection
at the store.
A bulk goods section will offer a variety
of products like special candies, oats, nuts,
spices and candies. Customers can purchase
available items in large or small quantities.
‘We can give them a pinch or a pound,?
said Schafer.
For those with a sweet tooth or a special
party to plan, Neiman’s bakers will also be
hard at work making donuts, fresh bread,
cupcakes, cakes and custom decorated
cakes.
A flower tent at Nieman’s will offer flowers,
plants and specialty items like pumpkins.
Every summer and spring, the flower department
at Neiman’s will offer a wide range of
hanging flower baskets, potted plants, flats,
herbs and much more.
‘We can also help with unique gift ideas,?
said Schafer.
Store director John Schmidt said the staff
at Neiman’s will always work hard for the
community.
‘We are a very family orientated business,
and work hard at community events,? he said.
‘That is part of belonging to the community.?
Schmidt said Neiman’s has already began
supporting the community and has provided
things like water and financial support to
community events like SCAMP and the
Angel’s Race.
‘This is a very active community,? smiled
Schmidt.
An active and successful community was
one of the reasons Neiman’s choose to call
Clarkston home.
‘We saw this as a perfect location because
we knew it was an area that would appreciate
a community minded grocery store,? said
Schmidt.
Schmidt said the newly hand- picked staff
will help also work hard for the Clarkston
community.
Neiman Family Market now includes four
locations including stores in Alpena, Tawas,
St. Clair and the newest location in Clarkson.
Neiman’s will be open each day 6 a.m. to
