PLUS, as they say, “proceeds from Grillin’ enable Food Gatherers to distribute more than 5.75 million pounds of food annually to 150 non-profit programs serving  people in need in Washtenaw County.” 

It’s win-win, + BBQ.

Metro Delivery is honored to be officially noted by Food Gatherers as a  MIGHTY CARROT PATRON this year for our continued support.

We’re lucky to be in a region where we have such a great local organization to support- just LOOK at their rating on Charity Navigator!

Get your Tickets! See you there!

Because we always come to your place, and you don’t drop around as often as you should…

We bid goodbye to our old address at 4480 Varsity, our home for the last 15 years or so-

Eerily empty, isn’t it?

Yes, we even brought that coffin, left to us by the deadbeat coffin salesman…

And we set up shop in our new GINORMOUS WAREHOUSE at 6241 Jackson!!…

Where we finally have a REAL LOADING DOCK, Hurray!

That’s where you’ll find us from now on- situated just next to the Van Winkle Mattress Warehouse,  at 6241 Jackson Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

The move across town , although short in milage, was massive in the required coordination of our staff to keep all of our systems online, all of our technology enabled, and ensure uninterrupted terrific service for our thousands of weekly customers while we moved a phenomenal amount of equipment, furniture  and assets and made  the transition, without a hitch.

Kudos and appreciation to the Metro Team for this very critical and successful same-day delivery!

Metro Delivery bids a fond goodbye to the Sunny Southside of Ann Arbor, MI and, heeding the advice of Horace Greeley, heads to the Wild Westside of Ann Arbor, MI, from whence we shall continue to service the Southeastern environs of Michigan- and beyond!

And we would like be clear, we are NOT PRESENTLY moving to India:

…we all got our hopes up that Management had more expansive plans than we’d been led to believe, this morning when we found the below(click for screenshot) website, which looks remarkably like our website:

Which shows that we’ve established branches in:

India! at 41/3, Mahatma Gandhi Road Bangalore Karnataka – 560 001
PHONE NUMBER: + 917411577135

LONDON!
at Cortonwood Drive Brampton Barnsley S Yorkshire S73 0UF
PHONE NUMBER: + 44 703 195-3447

and…
NIGERIA!

at5/54 omolabake close of ilamoye street ijeshatedo lagos nigeria
PHONE NUMBER: +234 8133969916

…Unfortunately, that website that you see above is just another bunch of interwebs criminals who’ve copied our proprietary images and are trying to “hook” “pigeons” for their shady we’ve-got-a-package-for-you-but-you-have-to-pay-some-fees-to-get-it scam.

All the above phone numbers  etc. presumably allow you to contact actual criminals. We recommend that you avoid these weasels, if they should contact you.

Here’s a previous blog post regarding this interwebs phenomenon

…Anyway, Westside Ann Arbor is a good move for us.

LOOK OUT WESTSIDE ANN ARBOR METRO DELIVERY’S MOVIN’ IN!

…

But England would have been nice…

Nigeria would have been awesome…

It just goes to show, you can’t believe EVERYTHING you see on the web.

…It’s coming up in just a couple of weeks- Metro Delivery has been a Five-Star Member of the Express Carriers Association for seven or eight years, and we always appreciate the networking and educational opportunities presented at the ECA’s Annual Marketplace Event.

The Business Development Cowboy is a-loadin’ up his saddlebags fer a rip-snortin’ Texan time with a posse o’ other Transportation Professionals from across the country.  Further dispatches to follow!

Our friends at Morgan and York donated a gourmet lunch for all the musicians, and we did a fast delivery from Morgan & York in Ann Arbor to the Stage Door of the beauteous Max M. Fisher Theatre in Downtown Detroit.

From their website: The annual Sphinx Competition offers young Black and Latino classical string players a chance to compete under the guidance of an internationally renowned panel of judges and to perform with established professional musicians in a competition setting. Its primary goals are to encourage, develop and recognize classical music talent in the Black and Latino communities.

Congratulations to the Winners, and to all the great young musicians! We hear it was a fantastic show!

Yeah, CHILLY.
