Zeitman’s Grocery Store
When Blake Zeitman's great great grandparents travelled across the Atlantic from Odessa, Ukraine they brought with them the clothes on their backs, a few dollars in their pockets, and a desire for a better life for their family. Two years later, they opened the original Zeitman's Grocery Store in Portland, Maine, and they were on their way to achieving the American Dream.
Life wasn't easy for Blake Zeitman's great great grandparents. As Jewish immigrants to the United States from Ukraine, they worked themselves to the bone to provide a better life for their children. Blake carries that legacy forward today in Historic Downtown Bryan, while bringing unique culinary offerings to the Brazos Valley.
When you walk through the front door at Zeitman's Grocery Store, you'll find a local delicatessen and bakery filled with the best bagels, cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, and Jewish delicacies within 100 miles – and maybe even within the State of Texas. To the Zeitman family, however, this local deli is more than just that... It's the American Dream, and it's built on a legacy at least 4 generations in the making.
