Jerry Denha's Supermarket Offers High-Quality Kosher Products

Jerry Denha is the owner of three supermarkets in the Detroit area. Denha hopes his 55,000-square-foot store will be widely popular and add luster to this thriving Jewish community. In fact, his store includes a Kosher deli, takeout, fresh meat, fish, and Kosher-certified wine. Denha is encouraged that non-traditional Kosher shoppers buy many Kosher products, especially meat, because they believe Kosher is of better quality; consumers have grown used to reading about meat with quality problems, and Kosher gives them a degree of comfort that ordinary meat cannot.

The head chef of Denha's Kosher catering business, Hershkovitz, is outstanding and places great emphasis on fresh and natural food as well as international themes, possibly offering Thai, Mexican or Italian recipes while also focusing on tradition. The local rabbi is optimistic that the community can support a variety of Kosher choices, and emphasizes that the community has 25 Orthodox synagogues, a Kosher bakery and Kosher restaurants. Jerry Denha is very focused on the Oak Park section of his recently reopened market, where 1,200 of the city's Orthodox Jewish families live; for Kosher consumers, the new market's updated Kosher program gives them more choices, often associated with big cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. May Chinese enterprises pay more attention to trends in the Kosher market and seize the opportunities.
