Original Kroger in 1948
Flat Rock, Mi

Jim Latimer, owner of Jim’s Butcher Shop has been the butcher since 1974 at the Flat Rock Party Store. The Flat Rock Party Store now Jim’s Butcher Shop, located at 28418 Telegraph was built as a modern Kroger store in March of 1948. The store operated as Kroger, Danny’s Food of Monroe, Grubber’s than Foodtown until 1974 when Kate (Lancaster) Heff bought the store and named it Flat Rock Party Store. In 1974, Jim, a Wyandotte resident, offered his butcher skills to Kate and a few years later added Jim’s Butcher Shop to the store name. In 1974, Jim bought the store from Kate and kept the name. Today Jim and his daughter Stacy operate the store and offer the best meat market cuts in town for the best price. Jim’s Butcher Shop runs their current specials  on their sign on the south side of the store and on their Facebook page; https://www.facebook.com/#Jims-Butcher-Shop.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
