CASUAL FURNITURE AT COMPLETELY RELAXED PRICES
IN an, oh Manischewitz!
Grocer James Hiller
has a major beef with
kosher food giant B.
Manischewitz Co., so he's getting
even. This week, he posted signed
notices on the Passover food shelves of
his five Shopping Center Hiller Food
Emporiums:
(-/
"Because of the exorbitant prices
charged by Manischewitz, we strongly
suggest you purchase alternative
Passover items."
Hiller owns Shopping Center mar-
kets in Berkley, Southfield, West
Bloomfield and Ann Arbor.
He said because Manischewitz is
gougin g Passover consumers, he is sell-
ing competing Passover products from
Israel at significantly lower prices. In
addition, he is making a donation of 5
percent of the cost of the Israeli prod-
ucts purchased to Technion-Israel
Institute of Technology.
"The Israeli products are just as
good, if not better, and they cost less
than half as much," Hiller said. "I'm
ashamed at the way Manischewitz has
treated the Jewish community."
For example, Hiller is selling
Jerusalem matzah for $1.49 per
pound. He said Manischewitz at other
stores is $2.89.
A Manischewitz spokesman in
Jersey City, N.J., Rob Scheckman, said
the company gives one price to its 30-
35 national distributors. Asked if the
distributors price the products differ-
ently, Scheckman said, "No com-
ment."
Detroit's Manischewitz distributor
is Kehe Foods in Chicago. Its vice
president of kosher foods, Stuart
Goldberg, did not return phone calls.
Hiller said Manischewitz was sold
to a holding company last week. It is
no longer Jewish-owned, he said.
In 1991, the B. Manischewitz Co.
was fined $1 million by a federal court
in New Jersey for fixing prices during
the 1980s.
Last year, Florida residents com-
plained to the state attorney general
because prices for Manischewitz prod-
ucts in Florida were appreciably higher
than in other states. ❑
