The Achatz brothers, David and Steve, have long been respected for their local food businesses, Achatz Handmade Pie Co. and Achatz Soup from Skratzch, respectively and now they're teaming up with the Detroit Lions to Comfort the Cold.
Because Achatz rhymes with "jackets" this promotion seems custom tailored for them as they collect new and gently used coats with the intent of filling a 32-foot Lions fan bus for the Salvation Army.
From now until Nov. 24, collection bins will be at each of the six Achatz Handmade Pie Co. retail locations - Armada, Chesterfield, Shelby Township, Oxford, Sterling Heights and Troy. A bin will also be available at Achatz Soup from Skratzch in Casco Township. All collections will be delivered in the Lions fan bus to Ford Field on Thanksgiving for the Salvation Army to distribute.
As a special thanks from David and Steve, anyone who donates to this great cause will receive a free slice of pie from the pie shop or pint of soup from the soup store.
While you are there, order your pies for Thanksgiving. Call (586) 749-2882 for store locations or to place order.
