Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Troy, Sterling Heights, Warren and Oakland and Macomb Counties
Oakland and Macomb counties run on Coney Islands and square pizza. Greek and Macedonian immigrants built the Detroit-style Coney dog, and National Coney Island opened its first restaurant at Macomb Mall in Roseville in 1965. Detroit-style pizza goes back to Buddy's in 1946, baked in blue-steel pans that started out as automotive drip trays or small parts bins, and Buddy's still bakes it on Northwestern Highway in Farmington Hills.
The suburbs north of Detroit cook a lot more than that. About 24% of Sterling Heights residents are of Middle Eastern descent, most with Iraqi roots, Novi is home to Sakura Novi, an Asian-inspired dining and shopping development, Royal Oak has run a farmers market since 1925, and Yates Cider Mill in Rochester Hills has pressed cider since 1876.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Oakland and Macomb County orders ship from our Columbus warehouse, so Oakland and Macomb County restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Troy, Sterling Heights, Warren, Royal Oak, and Novi. The most common orders here are griddles, reach-in refrigerators, freezers, pizza prep tables, fryers, and ranges and ovens.
Coney Islands and Detroit-Style Pizza in Oakland and Macomb
The Troy Historic Village traces the area's first Coney dogs to Greek and Macedonian immigrants. The original Detroit-style Coney is a natural-casing hot dog topped with no-bean chili, chopped onions and yellow mustard, built as a fast lunch for auto plant workers. National Coney Island was founded by James Giftos in 1965 at Macomb Mall in Roseville, where the company is still headquartered, and it opened a St. Clair Shores store in 1969. Most of its restaurants are in Macomb County, where it started. Detroit-style pizza has a similar factory story: Buddy's Pizza dates itself to 1946 in Detroit, when Gus Guerra baked square pies in blue-steel pans from local auto plants. Buddy's Farmington Hills location on Northwestern Highway is still taking reservations.
Coney counters live on flat-top griddles and steam-table holding, with sandwich prep tables for onions and toppings, fryers for fries and reach-in refrigerators for hot dogs and chili. Square-pizza kitchens need deck ovens, pizza prep tables and work tables for pressing dough into pans.
Middle Eastern and Chaldean Food in Sterling Heights and Warren
About 24% of Sterling Heights' roughly 134,000 residents are of Middle Eastern descent, according to 2020 census figures cited by the Chaldean Community Foundation, and 86% of them have Iraqi roots, mostly Chaldean, Assyrian or Syriac. Iraqis are the city's largest immigrant group, and in 2024 the city adopted Ankawa, Iraq, as a sister city. Michigan Public reports that Iraqi newcomers settle mostly in Macomb suburbs, particularly Warren and Sterling Heights. The Middle Eastern shopping district grew up around 15 Mile Road and Dequindre.
Grills, bakeries and markets here run charbroilers for kebabs, ovens for bread and pastry, countertop display cases for sweets, work tables for rolling dough, and reach-in refrigerators and freezers for meat and phyllo.
Royal Oak Farmers Market, Arts, Beats & Eats and Yates Cider Mill
Royal Oak and Oakland County opened the Royal Oak Farmers Market as an open-air municipal market on October 14, 1925, and its brick building opened on July 1, 1927. Vendors have to grow what they sell. Produce is sold every Saturday year-round, an antiques and flea market runs on Sundays, and the market sits at 11 Mile and Troy Street. Every Labor Day weekend, Arts, Beats & Eats fills downtown Royal Oak with dozens of food vendors serving festival crowds. In Rochester Hills, Yates Cider Mill was built as a grist mill in 1863 and began pressing cider in 1876, and a 26-inch water turbine installed in 1894 still powers the press. Harry Yates started selling donuts there in the 1930s, and the mill calls itself the oldest cider mill in Michigan.
Market stands, cider mills and festival vendors need fryers for donuts, countertop display cases, undercounter refrigeration for tight booths, ice machines and food truck equipment for Labor Day weekend.
