The Sunflower Gourmet Opening in the Grand Landing

Sunday, February 10th, 2008 |

The Sunflower Gourmet of Grand Haven, Michigan will be opening in the Grand Landing in April. The Sunflower Gourmet is going to be a neighborhood grocery store experience with a twist. They will be having some of the finest packaged gourmet foods as well as a deli area. Have a gourmet specialty favorite? Go ahead and make your recommendation.

Fresh, local & organic ingredients will be offered when available at the Sunflower Gourmet. They will also be carrying high-end housewares, including, but not limited to, Pillivuyt, Dansk, Emile Henry. The Sunflower Gourmet will also be offering packaged gourmet products from some of the finest companies across the globe, including olive oils, artisanal cheeses, handmade chocolates, gourmet rubs, vinegars, etc. Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, Peets coffee from California, and some other surprises you won’t want to miss! I am not sure but I think if you ask they may have beer gift baskets. I do know that Sunflower Gourmet has beer and wine.

The Grand Landing is going to be bustling this summer with so many new shops to draw us in over and over again. The Sunflower Gourmet sounds just like a place that we could become real familiar with.

To The Beach!

Monday, January 28th, 2008 |

It may be winter here in Grand Haven, Michigan, but people are still going to the beach. The Lake Michigan shoreline is still as amazing, filled with icebergs to walk on.

Yesterday was a wonderful day to be down at the Grand Haven pier. Even though the Grand Haven Winterfest had pretty much died down, the people were still going to the beach to enjoy the winter weather and scenery at the lake.

So many people were walking the pier to the lighthouse. I was a little amazed myself. Even at the public beach area people were getting out of there cars to wander out on the icebergs.

It only goes to show Grand Haven never sleeps. People love the Lake Michigan shorline any season. The winter is no exception.
