Required informationSkip to questionBusiness Ownership: Zingerman's Deli This activity is important because there are three primary forms of business ownership—sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation—each with advantages and disadvantages. These forms are the most often used, regardless of whether the business is a traditional "bricks-and-mortar" company, an online-only one, or a combination of both. Other forms of ownership that are increasingly popular include joint ventures, S corporations, and limited liability companies. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the progression of a small business from a partnership into a corporation. Read the case below and answer the questions that follow. Part I: Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig opened Zingerman's deli in 1982 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. With a reputation for great service and tasty specialty foods, Jewish dishes, and sandwiches, the little deli grew into a local institution with annual sales of $ 5 million in just eight years. The firm also gained praise for helping support local charities and for their Food Gatherers service, which provided food to those in need. Zingerman's became world renowned, thanks to glowing reviews in the New York Times, Bon Appétit, Esquire, and many other publications. Part II: Despite the accolades, the owners felt the maturing deli had run out of steam in 1992. Employees, frustrated by the lack of advancement opportunities, were leaving, and competitors were beginning to take a bite out of the deli's business. Saginaw and Weinzweig recognized that Zingerman's had arrived at the same crossroads as countless other small businesses: remain the same and risk stagnation, or grow aggressively and risk sacrificing the qualities that had made the deli so successful. Weinzweig in particular had detested the idea of franchising Zingerman's copies in far-flung cities where it would be difficult to maintain the firm's reputation for quality. Part III: So, after much research and debate, Saginaw and Weinzweig created the Zingerman's Community of Businesses (ZCoB), a collective of businesses, all with Zingerman's name and centralized marketing and administrative functions, but with their own products, identities, and managing partner/owner. Partner/owners and employees note that they have been drawn in by Zingerman's environment – one promoting passion for food, community, and opportunity. ZCoB today includes eight small firms and was even named Inc. Magazine's "Coolest Small Company in America." Not bad for a company in a strong growth mode while retaining all the elements that made it world famous for its unique culture, exceptional service, and products of the highest quality.Even after growing from a partnership to a multi-divisional corporation, Zingerman's had the culture of Multiple Choicea large company.a small company.a joint venture.a competitive franchise.
