There were 2 locations for this market from what I am gathering from my research. The original was at 325 Highland Rd. It was founded by Joe Harris in the 1940's. Later Robert Emerson took over. Harris retired in 1968 and was elected to the school board. His residence continued to be on the site of the original store on Highland Rd. By the 1990's, there was a new location at 1485 N Michigan Ave which is at the corner of M-59.
Eventually the Michigan Ave location was taken over by Jonna's Market who later demolished it and created the strip mall that is there now. The Highland road location was also demolished. That lot sits empty (next to Mugg and Bops as of 2025). There was a balloon fest across the street from the Michigan Ave location and the store once sponsored a balloon called "Boojum".
