Kowalski closing the deli in Hamtramck.

A friend told me he heard Kowalski is closing all of their stores including the deli in Hamtramck. I didn't believe[[didn't want)so I called the Hamtramck store&it's true

Anyone know why all the stores are being closed? I hate to see the stores go but especially the Hamtramck deli

There was a News4 truck in front of their building today

The news truck is there because of a report that they found a babushka in a kielbasa.

The Detroit Free Press article says they are getting out of the retail business to better focus on their wholesale operations.

The good news is they are keeping the production facility open in Hamtramck, which they threatened to close and move to Madison Heights a while back. Most people get their deli goods from deli counters in larger stores now anyway. Polish Market just up the street has a good deli counter and plenty of other good stuff too.
