Zingerman's continues to zig and zag while it grows in Ann Arbor.
Excerpt:
People can get a cup of Zingerman's coffee in two locations, and the newest one is in one of Ann Arbor's most unlikely spots.
Zingerman's Coffee is opening a retail-and-processing site in an industrial area on Plaza Drive in the Airport Plaza Business Park next to the world famous eatery's Bake House and Creamery. The Zingerman's brand houses a family of businesses that all specialize in creating food, such as bread or coffee, and customer service.
