Knight's Market — Local services in Ann Arbor

At first I hadn't heard about Knight's Market at all, and then all of a sudden everyone wouldn't shut up about it. I got so worked up hearing person after person tell me this place was a god-send that I actually made a trip (via bicycle) over there, figuring there was some heavenly store I'd been missing out on for years.

Give them a call if you are looking for a special cut, or just stop in and see a bit of Ann...

.I have been going to Knights market since 1978.. Some food options have changed but it is still the best neighborhood store a person can have. Constantly thriving, so much so that there isn't even a sign for the market.

New additions are their own bake goods and wild...
