Our Story

The Violante family welcomes you to their market and thanks the community for supporting them for over 60 years. And Holiday Market Select is a nod to our earlier years with a focus on quality, service, and community, just in a smaller space. We want to be your go-to-market on the corner of Maple & Chesterfield, offering dinner ideas when you need it, prepared meals for busy weeks, a quicker way to pick up daily grocery items, and a neighbor to share your day with.

The Holiday Market Select Story

What once started as a small neighborhood butcher shop and specialty store in 1954, grew each year, aisle by aisle, from our loyal customers requests. Started by Tom and Janet Violante, Holiday Market focuses on high quality products coupled with friendly neighborhood service. From a 2,500 square feet to now 60,000 square feet, we’ve always preserved our initial focus on quality and service. Over the years the Violante children, Tom Jr. and Gina Mangold, along with her husband Craig, have overseen the growth that has led Holiday Market to be voted one of the best markets in Metro Detroit, year after year.
