The Counter

A family-owned counter, not a chain.

Dugagjini Meats has held its spot on Riopelle Street since 1948. The premium quality cuts are served at prices maintaining consistency and fairness throughout all of Michigan.

The case goes beyond the usual fresh cuts: seafood (jumbo shrimp, king crab legs, snow crab legs, ocean perch, sardines), poultry, dairy, and seasoning sit alongside cured specialties like prosciutto, salami, and ham. Halal meats are available year-round, with the full range especially highlighted around Ramadan. Everything is sold retail or wholesale, with delivery to restaurants and other businesses.
