Don's Discount Foods

Founded in 1949 by Ray and Iola Swartzendruber, Fairview Food Market has been a proud part of the Fairview, Michigan community for over 75 years. Located at 1508 N Abbe Rd, this family-owned grocery store has grown from a small local shop into a full-service supermarket known for its exceptional customer service, quality products, and deep community roots.

Now in its third generation of family ownership, the store is operated by Dan Swartzendruber, who continues the legacy started by his grandfather Ray and carried on by his father Glen. The market remains independently owned and operated, with a strong commitment to local values and personalized service
