History
Quality Dairy was founded March 1936 by Gregory Martin and Harvey Mack. The first store was located on South Washington Avenue in REO Town. Quality Dairy started producing and selling ice cream in 1940.
In 1993 or 1994 the company petitioned the Michigan Department of Agriculture to eliminate size restrictions on milk containers so that the company could sell milk in "bonus pack" in non-standard sizes.
In 2001 Quality Dairy announced that sales of single-serving milk containers in plastic bottles had increased following the addition of a pop-up straw (manufactured by the PopStraw Co., Roseville, Michigan) to the package. By 2008 the company was selling milk advertised as hormone-free because the cows that produced it did not receive rBST, a hormone that increases milk production.
In August 2013 Quality Dairy introduced a QD Card Rewards program that provides cardholders a discount on fuel purchases and points toward deals through purchases of store items.
