Starting from the original deli, Zingerman’s Community of Businesses (ZCoB) has expanded to nine Ann Arbor based businesses with over 500 total employees.[3] Each business has shared ownership between original founders Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig, and the managing partners who started each business. Each business has its own organizational structure but they carry out the same standards and commit to the company’s values.[2]
Despite widespread rumors to the contrary, Zingerman's is not planning on becoming a worker cooperative.[4]
