Meijer Updates Plans for New Rivertown Market Project in Detroit | Eater Detroit

"A forthcoming 42,000-square-foot, smaller-format market at 1475 East Jefferson Ave is planned as a grocery- and produce-focused location rather than a full-line department store; it will mirror the company's smaller Woodward Corner Market concept. Announced originally in 2017, this will be the retailer's third Detroit location and the first on the city's east side, positioned near Lafayette Park and the Rivertown Warehouse District. A local partner in the development is Dennis Archer, Jr., and a groundbreaking press conference on October 29 is expected to reveal additional details — including possible new housing and a push to extend the QLINE streetcar. The project is tied to broader corridor improvements and carries the chain's long-running positioning as a family-owned superstore offering low prices on groceries and household goods." - Brenna Houck
