Food Giant Stores Open
10th Market in Oak Park
What started as a little grocery
and butcher store at 16650 Harper
back in 1938, is today one of Mich-
igan's fastest growing chains.
That store on Harper still re-
tains its original name of LaRose
Food Market. The other nine are
known as the Food Giant Stores.
Store number 10 has opened at 10
Mile Rd. and Scotia in Oak Park.
When Eleazar LaRose's six sons
returned from service, they started
knocking out the walls at the Har-
per Store to make room for ex-
pansion. It is a far cry from the
new 15,000 square-foot Food Giant
store.
According to Jim LaRose, vice
president, a special buyer has
been employed solely for the new
Food Giant store with but one pur-
pose in mind—to purchase quality
merchandise only.
Shoppers will also be able to
purchase fresh bagels and lox
from the new Food Giant store.
Don LaRose, president, is espe-
cially proud of the new fruits and
vegetables department, which, he
says, will contain only the finest
available in a glamorously dec-
orated area where the buyer is in-
doors but in an out-of-doors set-
ting.
Don LaRose is also president of
the Associated Food Dealers of
Greater Detroit.
A surprise dinner party was held
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Gorney, 20555 Lahser, on the oc-
casion of their 50th wedding anni-
versary recently.
Married here in 1916, Mr. Gor-
ney, 72, and his wife Rose, 71,
have two children, a son, Richard,
chief mechanical engineer for the
U.S. government, who lives with
his wife Sue in I o w a; and a
daughter Mrs. Shirley Goldsmith.
The Gorneys have six grandchil- THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
