 Zingerman's Delicatessen Opened in March of 1982 by Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig in an historic building near the Ann Arbor Farmers’ Market, the Deli got its start with a staff of two, a small selection of great-tasting specialty foods, a host of traditional Jewish dishes and a relatively short sandwich menu. Today, Zingerman’s is an Ann Arbor institution, the source of great food and great experiences for thousands of visitors every year. Managing partners Grace Singleton and Rick Strutz and the whole Deli crew serve up thousands of made-to-order sandwiches with ingredients like Zingerman’s corned beef and pastrami, free range chicken and turkey, housemade chopped liver and chicken salad.

 Ann Arbor Credit Bureau The Ann Arbor Credit Bureau became a Michigan corporation in 1924 when the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors formed a credit bureau owned by its downtown business members. The Credit Bureau grew slowly from the one original part-time worker to a staff of eleven when it moved to its present location on Main Street in 1957. The company has had only three owners since inception: Jay L. Barrett 1928–1960; Robert J. Barden, Sr. 1960–2001; and Robert J. Barden, Jr. 2001–present. Collection placements have grown from $586 in September 1925, to an average of $40 million annually today. In July 2007 the Ann Arbor Credit Bureau became the first – and still the only – agency in Michigan to earn ACA International’s PPMS certification. This certification is based on the internationally recognized ISO 9002 quality management standard. For more information, please visit www.a2cb.com. |
