Neiman Retiring, Sells Stores To His Children

ALPENA — In 1983 Hal Neiman and several investors purchased a struggling grocery store in Alpena. After taking full ownership, Neiman has built Neiman’s Family Market, which rivals big box supermarkets, and has expanded his company’s footprint as well.

In addition to Alpena, Neiman owns stores in Tawas, St. Clair and Clarkston.

Now Neiman has decided to step away from the day-to-day operations at the store and retire on Aug. 11.

Neiman said a succession plan has been made over the last 10 years and once he steps down his three children are going to take the reins of the company. He said although he won’t be making decisions in store operations, he intends to remain involved by working with the company’s oversight board and also taking part in ways to promote customer and employee relations and special events at all four stores.
