Kingma's Market, Kalamazoo St., 1972
Humble Beginnings
What started as a small neighborhood grocery on Kalamazoo Street in Grand Rapids quickly became a community staple known for its fresh produce, friendly service, and unique local offerings. From its earliest days, Kingma’s was built on personal connection—neighbors chatting over the produce bins, sharing recipes, and discovering foods you couldn’t find anywhere else. That foundation of service and local pride continues to shape everything we do today.
