Quality Dairy
Quality Dairy is a chain of convenience stores in Mid-Michigan that specialize in selling products made within the state. With headquarters in Lansing, Michigan, Quality Dairy currently oversees 31 stores — all but two locations have beer and wine and 15 of the locations have liquor. Eight locations have gasoline and six locations have laundromats.[1]
History [edit]
Quality Dairy has operated since 1936. In 1958 the company's owners were listed as Samuel and Tom Frame.[2]
In 1993 or 1994 the company petitioned the Michigan Department of Agriculture to eliminate size restrictions on milk containers so that the company could sell milk in "bonus pack" in non-standard sizes.[3]
In 2001 Quality Dairy announced that sales of single-serving milk containers in plastic bottles had increased following the addition of a pop-up straw (manufactured by the PopStraw Co., Roseville, Michigan) to the package.[4]
In 2008 the company was selling milk advertised as hormone-free because the cows that produced it did not receive rBST, a hormone that increases milk production.[5]
