Michigan Independent Busch’s Receives 2019 Outstanding Achievement Award
An Award Winner
With 16 family-owned, independent locations throughout southeast Michigan, Ann Arbor-based Busch’s Fresh Food Market, the 2019 Outstanding Retailer, offers fresh produce, meat, seafood and bakery items, as well as more than 4,000 Michigan-sourced products. The business began in 1975 with the purchase of two stores in Clinton and Saline by Joe Busch and his business partner, Charlie Mattis. When Joe retired in 1986, sons Doug, John and Tim took over as co-owners, acquiring and building more stores. Two of John’s children also work in the business. Gary Pfeil is president and CEO of Busch’s, which employs about 1,560 associates.
The business has been a dedicated member of the Michigan Grocers Association since 1978. In addition, Busch’s gives back to the communities it serves by supporting charitable organizations and schools.
