[7] Quality Dairy has been one of Mid-Michigan's largest employers[8][9] for over 50 years and produces over 150 different products in its Lansing area facilities.

Quality Dairy has focused on keeping prices low on staples such as milk, eggs and bread but makes its profits from sales of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, snack foods and beverages, lottery tickets, and other convenience items sold at premium prices.

Quality Dairy Company was founded in March 1936 by Gregory J. Martin and Harvey Mack.

[citation needed] In 1940, Quality Dairy Company started producing, distributing, and selling ice cream.

Harvey Mack sold to Gregory J. Martin who brought in three additional family owners shortly thereafter.

Today, the company distributes milk from the local dairy farms to its 27 stores daily.
