DEARBORN, MI–(Marketwire) – Unwilling to be influenced by
a down economy, Westborn Market is striving to lift peoples spirits and the
local economy with an 8,000 square foot expansion of its Dearborn store, due to
be completed before the end of this year.
“Even though were going through challenging times, its important to make this
investment in our store and in the Dearborn community,” said Mark Anusbigian,
president of Westborn Market. He and his brothers Jeff and Anthony now manage
the independent gourmet grocer, whose original store on Michigan Avenue in
Dearborn was founded by their parents George and Janette Anusbigian in 1963.
In 1988, in response to its strong customer base, the family expanded the
Dearborn store across the street to 21755 Michigan Avenue, providing a 12,000
square foot open air market to house the freshest of produce and meats. In 2004,
another 8,000 square feet were added and parking access was increased.
The current expansion, which is underway at the northwest corner of Westborn
Fruit Market, will enable Westborn Flower Market, which had remained in
operation for the past 22 years on the original stores site, to move across the
street and to become housed under one roof with the produce, bakery, meat and
deli counter as well as other food and beverage items.
“This will provide much greater convenience for our customers who are seeking a
one-stop shop,” said Anusbigian. “Well have a full-service florist with
wedding design services, ready made and custom made floral arrangements,
bouquets, giftware, fresh cut flowers, gift baskets, delivery service and more.”
According to Anusbigian, the architecture for the expansion will be a sleek
design of glass and steel with a clean industrial feel. Customers will still
have the same easy access to parking from both Michigan Avenue and Oakwood
Boulevard.
“Theres never been a better opportunity to demonstrate our confidence in
Dearborn and in Michigan than during these difficult times,” added Anusbigian.
“Were decidedly optimistic.”
