SAGINAW, MI – Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day, and at Merna’s, Leane Fernandez is serving it up with flavors right out of grandma’s kitchen.

Merna’s is located inside SVRC Marketplace, 203 S. Washington Ave., and has been since February 2023.

Since opening, Merna’s has moved to a larger vendor space, allowing Fernandez to add more items to the menu.

“I initially wanted to do breakfast, but I was in such a small place I couldn’t do it,” Fernandez said.

SVRC Marketplace is an incubator for local small businesses and currently houses a variety of vendors. Other food-focused businesses inside the marketplace include:

Bloom From Within

Cob King

Crudup’s Chicken & Ribs

Delicious Sweets Bakeshop

Derf’s Deli

El Farolito Taqueria & Catering
