A new Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace is expected to open on the campus of Schoolcraft College sometime in late 2025.
A groundbreaking Thursday, Nov. 7, marked the beginning of construction for the new market, which will be located in the north commuter lot on the campus near the Vistatech Center along Haggerty Road.
With other locations in Bloomfield Township, Clinton Township, St. Clair Shores and Troy, Nino Salvaggio’s features an array of gourmet goods, including produce, meats, baked goods, flowers and more.
The new location will also serve as an educational hub, providing opportunities for Schoolcraft College students in programs such as culinary arts and supply chain management, among others.
“Having a Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace right here on campus will give all of our students real-world experience that will enhance their education,” said Glenn Cerny, president of Schoolcraft College, in a press release. “This marketplace will help teach our students in ways no other community college can offer. We cannot wait for our students and the community to see this wonderful addition to the campus.”
Work on the 48,100-square-foot marketplace will take place over the next several months. Construction on the new parking lot adjacent to the Vistatech Center will wrap up by December.
Founded by the late Nino Salvaggio in 1979, the company will expand its footprint to the tri-county area with the opening of the Livonia store.
Nino’s children, Leo Salvaggio and Andrea and Frank Nicolella, continue to expand upon Nino’s legacy by building this new store and investing in the community.
“On behalf of our entire Nino’s family, we are proud to make this significant investment in the community and excited to introduce our marketplace to Schoolcraft College and the surrounding neighborhoods,” said Leo Salvaggio, one of the owners. “We’re pleased that Schoolcraft College and Nino Salvaggio share a commitment to being deeply rooted in the community we serve. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome everyone to our newest store.”
