Westborn Market Celebrates Grand Opening of Cherished, Featuring Michigan-Made Products

Introducing and featuring Michigan-made products, Westborn Market is inviting the public to attend the Grand Opening of its new Cherished store, located within Westborn at 27659 Woodward in Berkley. The celebration will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, 2009.

"We have created a 'store within a store' to feature Michigan-made favorites that offer consumers great value," said Mark Anusbigian, president of the family-owned gourmet grocer. "Our new Cherished store is well stocked with Michigan munchies and showcases how much we have to be proud of in Michigan."

Visitors to the Grand Opening will be treated to free hot dogs compliments of Dearborn Sausage Company, free ice cream compliments of Michigan's Hudsonville Creamery and Ice Cream Company, free Better Made potato chips, and samples of other unique Michigan products from salsas to cherry sodas.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to enter a free drawing to win great prizes including free passes for a family of four to visit The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village; two Detroit Tiger baseball tickets, compliments of Comcast, to watch the Tigers play the Blue Jays; two tickets to attend the musical "Grease" at the Fisher Theatre, compliments of WOW!; a family four-pack to attend Cedar Point, provided by WDIV TV; and more. The drawing will be held at 5 p.m. concluding Saturday's Grand Opening, and entrants do not need to be present to win.

According to Anusbigian, the Berkley market was selected as the site of the Cherished store because of the space available in its unique conservatory that was added during the store's renovation in 2006.

Westborn Market Features Michigan Products During Weekend Summer Grills

During Michigan's beautiful summer months, Westborn Market is encouraging customers to munch on local "grillables" while they do their weekend shopping.

Westborn Market's three stores are all hosting outdoor grills from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, now through the summer season.

Grill selections range from as low as $1 for a Dearborn sausage hot dog, up to $5.50 for a grilled Michigan Amish chicken breast or pulled pork sandwich, each served with Westborn's new cherry barbeque sauce, famous slaw and killer brownie bite. Other popular selections include cherry turkey burgers, Westborn's famous 1/2 lb. handmade ground round burgers, Better Made potato chips, Cherry Republic sodas and Faygo pop.

"We began our outdoor grill several years ago by serving hot dogs, chips and pop," said Mark Anusbigian, one of three brothers who manage the family-owned gourmet grocer. "Because of the grill's growing popularity and our efforts to promote Michigan produced items, we've greatly expanded the menu. These selections also help customers make purchasing decisions for their own summer grills and picnics."

Westborn Market has stores in Dearborn, Berkley and Livonia.

Store locations, hours of operation and weekly specials are available at www.westbornmarket.com or by calling 313-274-6100.
