Albion welcomes first independent market in decades

Superior Street Mercantile is open for business, making it the first independent market in this manufacturing town in more than three decades.
The 2,500-square-foot store at 217 S. Superior St., is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week and features more than 120 Michigan-based brands, including a dozen from the greater Albion community. Shoppers can pick up the basics like milk, eggs and pasta and choose from a broad selection of locally sourced artisanal products like grass-fed beef from Ferry Farms in Litchfield, Darkhorse Beer from Marshall, Zingerman’s coffee from Ann Arbor, and baked goods and prepared salads from Albion’s own Foundry Bakehouse and Deli.
