Milam’s Markets Celebrates 40 Years
In true community spirit, Milam’s Markets is inviting customers to a family cookout and tasting event on Sat., April 13 at their Coconut Grove store. All Milam’s stores will feature 40% discounts on select items, including Certified Angus Beef, USDA Prime grade cuts of meat, Milam’s homemade deli salads and more. Local baker Almotti is offering 30% off gluten-free desserts and Domaselo’s local artisan sourdough bread will be 20% off. It’s all part of their grand celebration commemorating their 40-year anniversary.
“For 40 incredible years, we’ve been more than just a grocery store – we’ve been your neighbors, your friends, and part of your family,” says CEO Max Milam. “As we mark our 40th anniversary, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible community that has made this journey possible. With a big sale at all our stores and an in-person community event alongside our associates and vendors, there’s no better way to celebrate.
”Guests at the party can savor premium meats from the grilling tent, taste fine wines, and enjoy local craft brews. Local brands like Misha’s, Per’La Coffee, Aroa Yogurt, and Big Mama’s will be on hand. The festive ambiance will be enriched by the Latin soul and boogaloo rhythms of Tony & the Kings, with activities for all ages, including a prize wheel and face painting. Local artist Brian Butler of Upperhand Art has crafted a unique canvas bag for the anniversary, celebrating Milam’s Markets’ legacy of playing instrumental music in-store throughout the years.
Since opening in 1984, Milam’s Market has offered a grocery shopping experience that includes a full-service deli, in-store butchers, commitment to exceptional produce, and in-store offerings coupled with warm customer service, making them a beloved fixture in the community.“Our family has a rich background in serving the community,” says CMO Kristie Milam.
“My great grandfather, Michael Gunner, had a Farm and Implement store in the Southeast during the 1930s. This was a store to buy supplies for your livestock along with staple food items for your family.”
After WWII, Michael’s son-in-law, Thomas “Pop” Milam, worked for a food wholesaler called Malone & Hyde, which serviced many of the mom-and-pop grocers. “Pop always wanted to own his own store after working alongside so many individuals in the community,” she says. “Once he retired on the wholesale side, he joined his son, Allen, in co-founding what is known as Milam’s Markets today.”
Kristie Milam says many of their customers have been with them since day one, witnessing not just the evolution of a store, but of a shared community space. “It’s been a blessing to be part of your lives,” she says. “Thank you for being part of ours.”
