Zingerman’s Delicatessen is an Ann Arbor, Michigan institution helmed by managing partners Grace Singleton, Rick Strutz, and Rodger Bowser. The Deli is known for full-flavored, traditionally-made foods—from storied sandwiches and Jewish classics to seasonal side dishes and specialty food staples. As they say, “You really can taste the difference.”
Throughout the decades, the Deli has expanded its physical footprint, scope of operations, and staff. It’s grown from a single 1000-square-foot historic storefront to a campus including the Next Door Café. The Deli launched Zingerman’s Catering & Events to bring “the Zingerman’s experience” beyond the Deli’s doors; opened the Greyline, an event space in the heart of downtown; and introduced guided tastings in-store and virtually. This local institution employs a staff of over 200 and has been recognized by the James Beard Foundation Awards as a finalist in the Outstanding Service category.
The Deli was founded in 1982 by Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig. Over the years, Zingerman’s—dubbed “the coolest small company in America” by Inc. magazine—has remained rooted in the community while expanding to become a family of independently-owned food and service-focused businesses, known as the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses.
