It's always great news when a Michigan brand goes national. Plenty of Michigan brands have expanded over the years, and for good reason- we simply have some great stuff in Michigan that needs to be shared with the world.
One success story I always think of is Biggby Coffee, which years ago started expanding across the country. Recently, a favorite local restaurant chain has announced it's food will now be offered nationwide, which is definitely exciting news.
Olga's, known for their incredible pita-style bread, is now available for nationwide shipping through Goldbelly. They announced the news via Facebook stating, "Olga's Snackers, The Original Olga, Spinach and Cheese Pies and more! Check out all our selections here," and linking to the Goldbelly website. I remember going to Olga's at the local mall when I was a kid, and it was always a favorite spot. It's great to see the Olga's brand expanding across the U.S.
Because of the new partnership with online food marketplace Goldbelly, the Olga's will now be delivering to all 50 states. "For years we’ve heard from Olga’s fans far and wide that they wanted a way to access their favorite menu items wherever they live,” Mark Schostak told Hour Detroit. He's the executive chair of Team Schostak Family Restaurants, the Livonia-area restaurant group that owns and operates Olga’s. “Our partnership with Goldbelly allows those fans to have the Olga’s items they crave delivered to their doorstep while maintaining our standard of excellence.” Just hearing this news makes me hungry.
Spring and summer are on the way, and that means it's vacation time. You don't need to travel far to experience an amazing vacation experience. In fact, chances are there's a great getaway just a road trip away. Here in Michigan, we have plenty of exciting beach towns and vacation-ready destinations.
Plenty of people from neighboring states and beyond actually come to Michigan to vacation in the spring and summer. I have a friend in Florida who rents a place up north for a week every summer. That said, why not take advantage of the beautiful land we have in Michigan and plan your spring getaway or summer vacation right here in the Mitten? One of my favorite things to do each summer and road trip to a new Michigan destination and take in that town's unique culture.
Read on for a list I've put together of some of Michigan's finest vacation destinations. I included 30 on this list, but of course, there are many more. The No. 1 spot, in my opinion, is Mackinac Island. If you're a Michigander and have never been to Mackinac Island, then you have some catching up to do. I remember going there as a child with my parents and grandparents and finding Petoskey stones- or at least purchasing them at a local gift shop.
If you're interested in a top 10 list, U.S. World and News Report recently put together a list of the 10 best places to visit in Michigan, which you can find here. As a Michigan native, I approve of their list, but there are far more than just 10 cities in Michigan that area prime vacation destinations.
