Woodward Corner Market

While stopping at a small market to grab some groceries, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and tidy the place was. The music playing in the background added to the ambiance and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Very swanky Meijer, masked as a “corner market”, what would you would expect from Royal Oak. Good selection of produce, spirits and health foods. And the layout was gorgeous.

It's on the corner, but it's not a market. I don't get it. No fresh meat or fish counter. The prepackaged meat is just awful. Try Westborn just a mile or so south on Woodward for a better experience. No place for a foodie.

Phenomenal selection of local & national brands. My favorite place to shop for groceries & all things Michigan.

I've been going to this market since it opened and really like it. There are only self-checkout, but this means that you don't have to stand in line, and there is always an employee or two waiting to help if you need it. Prices are reasonable, and I enjoy the abundant Michigan items. It's always clean and very well-stocked. That said, I am very disappointed in the cafe. I went there today and they didn't have the first two items I asked for, as well as being out of iced tea on an 80 degree day. I ended up getting a ready-made tuna salad sandwich out of the cooler which was good BUT the bread was so hard I had to try and eat it with a knife and fork--and I broke the fork! I won't be eating there again, but I'll be back to shop at the market.

How can a place with open food let a dog inside...horrible customer service with no one to help check out. The aisles are tall and feel like a cage being trapped walking down them. Most of the food comes prepackaged so it definitely can not be fresh. Horrible business concept, if we are all about equality why do we have to call out women owned, that's discrimination.

I was impressed with his store and it definitely fits the area but it's not a Meijer...its better match to "Woodward corner market"...you can definitely see that there are Meijer brand item but the major component of a successful Meijer is their reward program and the cost savings they provide. This Meijer is more like a giant convenience store because everything is marked at retail price...There is literally nothing on sale with the exception of items that are going to be passed due...now to me the passed due items present a major strength and since the store isn't doing as well as they had expected I get to cash in on the "manager specials"... For example I got over $70 worth of fruit and vegetables today for about $20. The other thing I really like about this store is the local distributors...I bought some chunk nibbles today after companies owner I would say they're actually Priced Right for somebody that is okay with an Impulse Buy but wants a healthy but tasty treat at the same time also he said it helps out with Charity which sure that's a good marketing tactic but I'm more or less bought it because it's actually a good product and I like that they're headquartered out of Troy Michigan check the end of my review for photos UPDATE: I ate the 16oz bag of Chunk Nibblers in 24 hrs. The other company I tried it called Curry fresh they have the last two doors on the left side of the first aisle I think they're fresh Indian food taste really good and it wasn't too salty there's also a photo of that on my review

Wow! A great place to shop! The entire staff is very helpful & knowledgeable! Also, the store is Very Clean~!!! Thank you ALL for being ‘Simply the Best~!!!

Woodward Corner Market is a nice gem in Royal Oak. They have a ton of Michigan specialties and favorites. I was shocked to see the sell juice from Drought but I think the brand is really starting to get out there. Everything seems very neat and very meticulously organized. They encourage you to use their self checkout but it's actually not bad at all since there's an employee there who can assist and you will most likely need help because I was confused on where to get bags from. Whenever I've gone they appear to be pretty helpful overall. Would definitely stop in again.

Difficult finding items as the isles have signs that need a rafter to read. Even then items are not there. Produce used to be great here but it's not any better than the regular Meijer's. Not a good place for meats or chicken if you're into that. The liquor people are just rude A-h0Ls. Good luck getting help--all the help is standing at checkout watching you labor on self-checkout.

Nice concept and appreciate the "small market" environment they tried to achieve. They no longer provide any bags at checkout, despite there being places for bags from where they were before. They had maggots in their produce. Had to put back 4 different dozens of eggs because of them being broken. I did not have this experience my first time coming here but after today, I will probably not be back.

This is a nice fancy Meijer. It's smaller so you can get in and out in a more timely manner than a traditionally built Meijer. I asked one of the employees and he said they don't have sales like the regular stores so you'll pay full price for everything. I do like how they carry items from local small businesses. I was able to pick up some food items from a middle eastern business and try some new cookies from a local bakery. They have a vegetarian and vegan section with a sizable amount of items to choose from. They also have a cafe area but it was closed when I arrived so I don't have much to say about that. I saw one person there working on their laptop and a few other people just relaxing.. All check out counters are built for self check out. They did have some store employees around to assist in case you need help. Overall my experience there was good!

Either you are a meijer store, or you aren't? In area killing time and needing a few items. Liquor must be paid for separately. Took my m- perks card and gave a $2 offer that was earned earlier. Wouldn't honor a $10 coupon that was earned before. I'm confused.

The first time I came here was right after the pandemic hit. So it was not a very good first impression. It was not their fault, just people being idiots and buying everything off the shelf. That being said, now that the madness had calmed down. I have been here quite a few times over the past couple of weeks, and I love it lots of selections it is on my way home from work, so it makes it convenient.

This store is very impressive! Best Meijer I've been in (I think it's fully a Meijer because they carry Meijer products in here). Everything is very well organized and tidy. Not to mention, that everything is easy to find and similar items or items that go together are near each other. One thing to note is that this place doesn't carry any clothing it seems or unique non-grocery items. They do have cleaning supplies though. Also, it didn't appear that anything was on sale (yellow sticker) not sure if it's because the store is new or not. This makes items a little more expensive, but the convenience and atmosphere is awesome and definitely worth it!

What an impressive layout and beautifully displayed and organized. Today's their first opening, they are giving out free samples of stuff. Their wine and liquor section is totally what a liquor shop should aspire too. So easy to find your favorite wines and grapes and so approachable too. Could come here and study up on all of the wine varieties available. I can't wait to make this my go to shopping spot. I like how everything is well organized, clean, so hoping it always stays that way. This is such a cool and awesome, sharp looking market, what a step up for Meijer. Yeah to Meijer thrifty acres for stepping it up a notch. It is amusing to the nicer $10 plastic bags are facing out to the store and the cheaper $0.10 bags are facing the bathrooms, is there a hidden meaning there? They carry La Croix cases here but no key lime flavor, why? Even the regular Meijer in MH carries the key lime flavor. Please do order some here. Keep note about this store. They do not give you bags for free, they charge $0.01 a bag for your groceries if needed. So be sure to bring your own bag or pay for them at checkout.

We had been in the concept store in Grand Rapids last year. Located in a large parking lot with lots of detached buildings with gyms, bars, burgers joints... This is Meijer's attempt at a Whole Foods without as much prepared foods. Wall of fancy liquor, expanded and dressed up beer aisle, produce section near the front, much more narrow aisles. Very modern looking inside. Much smaller than a normal store, grocery only, and smaller selections. They make you pay ten cents per plastic bag. Self checkouts. In addition to normal carts, they have smaller ones that are shorter both in length and height, and the basket is also shorter--they are sized for 5 foot tall people. The staff was nice, but this is a new store so time will tell.

I always enjoy checking out new stores; there's something exciting about it for me. (Yeah, my life tends towards the mundane. Lol.) First, this is a lovely looking store. Bright, shiny and nicely laid out. But, the thing that struck me was that, except for the small produce section, nearly everything is packaged. Maybe it was the mood I was in, but it just jumped out at me how very little of the food we buy now is fresh. One of the things I used to like about Meijer stores in the past was that you could pick out all of your own produce (including berries), but that option has largely been gone for some time. This store does not have a fresh deli, seafood or meat department. Everything is prepackaged, although nicely displayed. I also found it to be expensive -- on par with other specialty stores, rather than with Meijer or other regular grocery stores. But maybe I'm spoiled by the Aldi prices I've grown used to. They do have small sections of pet food, health & beauty aids and cleaning products, but not much of a selection of any of those things. But, they did have the refrigerated rolls of cat food that are very hard to find & which my cats love, so a point for them there. As others mentioned, you have to bring your own bags or buy theirs. And it REALLY bothers me that they only have self-check out. I'm sorry, but I don't work there, and I don't like to support places that purposely don't have jobs for people. I pretty much stopped shopping at Meijer when they stopped employing baggers, making the cashiers do double duty, and making customers take their eyes off the register as they loaded their own carts. If you're looking for a cool-looking place that's not too big, this is could be for you. But if you're looking to do a large shopping, this is probably not the right place.

I love it! Great specialty selections with the Avalon Biscuit Bar inside. Wonderful treats!! Yes, it's slightly overpriced on some items. But you pay for convenience. This is a perfect spot to grab those last two ingredients for a recipe, bottle of wine or flowers for a gathering. Although, it's self-checkout, there are employees at the ready to assist you.

I had received a call from a friend that said the liquor counter received an order of Blanton's. He said he spoke with the guy behind the counter and said they got in a few. My wife got there 20 minutes after this conversation and they said they didn't have any. I sure hope it's not because she is an Asian Woman. I can't think of any other reason not to sell to her.

Great market for shopping! Friendly service and great coffee bar. I look forward to returning during the holidays.

Not really sure how to rate this place because I mostly just browsed today, but I'll give it a go. This is probably the fanciest Meijer I've ever been in. A friend pointed out that it's ONLY food and beverages, which is nice if you've ever navigated the behemoth that is a normal Meijer (clothing, health/beauty sections, food sections, etc.) ... and/or if you want to have a faster grocery store experience. Some interesting things to note: 1. Like others have mentioned, they want to compete against like Whole Foods, it seems. They had a ton of local foods, which were great - I saw challah from Oak Park, individual cookies you could buy (neat idea! you can mix & match too) from another local bakery, etc. 2. They have a HUGE wine and beer section. 3. They do NOT have any cashiers except one or two people to help you with self check-out. I am GUESSING that if you are buying alcohol, you have to buy it in the wine section, as they had cashiers there, but I'm not 100% sure on that. 4. They also do not have any plastic bags - they have reusable bags for 10c each. I was only buying one item so I just put the item in my cart and didn't buy a bag. 5. Prices overall seem higher than a regular Meijer but there are some things that are slightly cheaper. For example, they had Silk almond milk for $2.89, and my local Meijer sells it for $2.99. 6. They do NOT take mPerks currently but I've heard that they are going to take them soon. I would assume they take regular coupons but am not sure on that. Overall I would come back here when in the area, as it was super nice, but I tend to price match to other stores, so I'd continue to do that here too.

The small market feel is nice and I liked that there was a lot of organic options. The layout, however, is convoluted and prices are fairly high. So with higher prices, they reward you with not hiring employees to check you out. Instead they have you do the labor, without the paycheck, and then make you pay for bags that you fill yourself. At least at Aldi and Costco, which also don't provide bags, there are lower prices and clerks to help you. I don't see much of an upside for shopping here.

Nice produce section, has a good assortment of other foods. But the lack of a deli counter is a bummer. Also, the fact that the bags are 10 cents each makes me not want to come back for my regular grocery shopping needs. Will probably use it for fresh fruit and produce only, but then again Westborn has that and a deli counter soooo.

The Woodward Corner Market is a welcome addition to the Royal Oak, Birmingham, Berkley and other surrounding areas. It is Meijer's neighborhood store concept with the first store located in Grand Rapids. Westborn Market, Papa Joe's, Trader Joe's, Holiday Market and nearby chain grocery stores will compete with this new neighbor. Beaumont hospital was smart to purpose this mixed use center to include WCM. The market has 25 foot high ceilings and an open airy concept. The wood product displays are located through out the store. The store sells local products that are fresh, affordable and sustainable to the environment. With the new condo developments and retail space built in the local areas, this store will add to the infrastructure needed to support this growth in a healthy sustainable way. Thank you Meijer!

I first time at the Woodward Corner Market is a treasure. It's exactly what it is called a Corner Market in a neighborhood community. When you walk in you are greeted by fresh coffee brewing and fresh fruits, desserts vegetables and friendly staff. The store is set up what your need and desire are. If you are a vegan they have a section for you or if you gluten free they have something for you too. They are affiliated with Meijer but a scaled down version of perfection and quality. If you have a wanna be little shopper. They have a shopper basket did them also. If you are in the neighborhood of Woodward and 13 mile Royal Oak, Mi. Stop in you won't be disappointed!!

This supermarket is so beautiful that even walking around without buying anything feels therapeutic. I don't like shopping except for groceries and this is just the perfect place for me to unwind. The shelves are very neat and organized. Therefore, it's quite easy to find things. The place is clean. The produce looks fresh. They have quite a great variety of things and a lot of them are locally produced! Yet at the same time, the price is not too bad. Might not be the cheapest, but I think it's still less than Whole Foods. I do mostly self-checkout here, but even when I need help I feel like the staff are pretty helpful. They charge for plastic bags, so I recommend you bring your own bag, which is nice for the planet.

This is an adorable market that seems to want to compete against a Plum Market or Whole Foods. It has a nice location, this area seems to need more accessible grocery stores to grab and go, or do a complete shopping trip. I love their Great Lakes coffee cafe. The menu looks absolutely appetizing. They have sweet treats plus breakfast/ lunch items, and is a very nice space to enjoy a casual coffee. The store is a nice size, not too overwhelmingly big. They have a nice selection of produce, gifts, flowers and gourmet cookies at the entry. I love the beer and wine selection, very diverse with ample MI craft brews. They offer the best of the typical grocery store products, plus deluxe hard to find items like the chocolate salami I saw on the Food Network. We came here on a Saturday night after a meal with the family, it was a fun place to do the weekly shopping.

I'm very impressed with this new concept by Meijer they have been around ad long add I can remember and it's nice to see this adaptation to their one stop shop. The layout of the store is easy to navigate and of course fully stock due to grand opening. They had so much staff everywhere to the point of overkill which is my only gripe they were not moving about well and adding to congestion of a crowded store. I'm sure it was to make sure customers had a great shopping experience. Now on to the good part I LOVE the fact that this store is dedicated to Michigan small business vendors. This store gives meaning to shop local. Remember this store is BYOB(bring your own bags) or yiu will need to purchase them for .10 each.

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. The conveniences and quality of a Meijer without the huge overwhelming space that takes you 10 minutes to walk through. They have a lot of Michigan made foods: deli offerings, baked goods, candy. It's nice to see. Their produce has always been good. The carts are a bit small but I get that this place is probably not meant for a huge shopping trip. They have some unique freezer offerings, and a generous wine station with several aisle of just wine. The aisles are rather narrow, which seems to be the norm now. The bottle return is completely separate from the shopping area which is nice. You don't have to schlepp bags full of bottles all the way to the back of the store like in the full Meijer on Coolidge. One downfall is they don't have a deli counter. Seems like that would be a no brained so not sure if that's in the works. Everything is self checkout, so keep that in mind.

Just an update, I was back for sushi Wednesday and it did not disappoint. Love having this awesome sushi deal in the community

Checked out the new-ish Meijer store. It's got what you'd need. It's nice to have a grocery near a hospital (wish I remembered that when visiting a loved one in the hospital and living on vending food). Seemed a little uppity for a Meijer store, with some prices higher and it doesn't have the regular-store-Meijer sale. I was able to enter my MPerks number (and get credit for my purchase), however, I was unable to use my $5 MPerks credit. Overall, nice to have a store near a hospital, but I wouldn't do my everyday shopping there.

Prices are way too high (over $6.00 for compost bags???), and they want you to pay for bags and then bag it yourself. Plus, they don't accept Meijer coupons. Not cool.

I really love this place. I was able to get a loaf of bread from Crispelli's along with a great latte from Great Lakes Coffee Roasting when I ran into grab a few things. I love that they support small local businesses like this. The prepared food section has food from local restaurants too. The design also makes it easy to grab what you need and get out, which isnt the case at the larger traditional Meijer stores.

Such a welcome addition to the area! Specialty grocery store atmosphere and selection but with much more reasonable prices. Really love the wide selection of Michigan products. Much smaller than a regular Meijer store and only has groceries for the most part, but has a limited selection of things like cleaning products, toiletries, etc. The aisles in the rear section are quite narrow and have a lot of product crammed on the shelves which makes shopping during busier times quite difficult. Checkout is overwhelmingly self-checkout. Not an issue for me but some may not like this. However, during my visit there were multiple other customers waiting for assistance at the self-checkout with no employees in sight. I have enjoyed my two visits thus far and plan on making this place one of my regular stops!

Updated to reflect that they now offer MPerks! This place is a dream. Sometimes the organic produce can be a little expensive but there are always alternatives. I have stopped going to the Meijer on the other end of town because they truly have it all!

I was looking forward to this store, but was very disappointed. The decor is lovely and modern, but that's the nicest thing I can say. Someone would be able to purchase their weekly groceries there, and the store carries Meijer brand products, but it looks to be priced higher than a Meijer. It also seems like nothing is on sale. The biggest disappointment is the lack of prepared food. There was a case with sandwiches, but it reminded me more like gas station stuff. I'm not sure. There was a very limited bakery selection and you couldn't get as much as a rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner. They also seemed to have a lot of alcohol options, but none of the party trays or things you'd pick up go with it. I couldn't get everything on my list and had to stop at Kroger on my way home. Maybe I'll try again in a couple of months and see if it's different.

My experience at Woodward Corner Market was awesome! You walk in straight to the flower department which is filled with beautiful flowers. I would describe the store as a mix between Trader Joe's and Whole Foods at the price point of Meijer! Win! I am not vegan, but they had a whole fridge filled with what looks to be yummy items. I am going to try the BBQ jackfruit next time I'm in. They also carry SO many Michigan made products! It was awesome to see them in almost every single aisle. And the customer service at the self service check out was phenomenal. Shout out to the cashier assistant at the self-serve checkout station today at 11am! Thank you for assisting me when I couldn't get an item to scan and you did it with a smile, cheer and humor. I didn't think I could be more excited about a grocery store! Way to go!!

Very clean market. Footprint was easy to navigate. Considering the location, I wasn't surprised by the higher price points. Lot of variety of Michigan made products.

Super clean and organized. Lots of staff. Everyone is wearing a mask, maybe it's the proximity to Beaumont,

The store is beautiful, lots of options from produce to the meat section, to vegan and vegetarian. It's different than a regular Meijer but still very comparable price wise. The Great Lakes coffee is nice as well.

I'm obsessed with this store--the concept of having Meijer items mixed in with some hyper-local more premium options is awesome. Plus, there's a great lakes coffee inside! The reason I don't give 5 stars is that because its a smaller scaled store, they have limited options for non-food items (cleaning supplies, etc). However the produce and liquor depts are really full!

I was just here the other day. First time. I will give them 1 star because they have moderately decent food at decent prices. It's false advertising to call this a market. The name shouldn't be "Woodward Corners Market". I honestly thought this was a fruit and meat market like Westborn, Hollywood, Holiday. You know? "Market" is in the name. They don't have a bakery or a butcher. So other than produce, absolutely NOTHING is fresh. People need to know that before they take their time to go there. Waste of my time. It's also much smaller. Only has food. And a pretty eatery. This is nothing more than a mini Meijers with a bowtie and pretty shelves.

This is a LOVELY market. I stopped in here on a whim after accompanying my sister to an appointment at nearby Beaumont. I needed a couple things, but really enjoyed my walk around the store. Firstly, it's SPACIOUS - so there's no cart-wrangling around people or crowding (which is especially nice during pandemic). They have a great selection of gourmet items that are reasonably priced PLUS the regular stuff. You don't feel like you're getting gouged on the regular stuff either.

Thank you for the response but it is not so. I went one more time out of necessity and specific ally asked a worker if I could have a staff member check me out Nd she said "no it's self check out only" so ‍‍ I go out if my way to other stores.

What a wonderful addition to the area! This unique market was opened by Meijer! They carry Meijer products at Meijer prices and also carry pretty much any Michigan made product you can think of. Definitely a one stop shop for all of your favorite things Michigan. Vivios Bloody Mary mix, Monica's cookies, New York Bagel, Rinaldi sausage, Great Lakes Coffee to name a few. They have a cafe that serves coffee, desserts and food. I saw somewhere that Natalies bakery would be there but I saw no sign of their cupcakes when we went. Guess we will have to go back! Super friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Definitely recommend shopping on a Friday evening if you're looking to avoid grocery store crowds. They have so many pre-made healthy meals if you're on the go. We were worried it might be too artisanal but we were able to do our normal grocery shopping here and get everything we needed. Make sure to bring your own shopping bags or be prepared to pay 10¢/bag for their eco friendly reusable plastic bags or $1 for their big reusable bags. Good job Meijer! Home run. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Great selection of everything you need and more. Large selection of vegan items. On the other side lots of local meats, whole30 & better for you food! We always shop at woodward corner.

Wow what a incredible shopping experience!!! The store is spotless everything is organized. The staff is so professional and friendly.

Wow! This place is a great find. We drove by not expecting what a gem this was. We walk in from out of the rain and found ourselves in one of the cleanest, easiest to find things, grocery stores we have been to in southeast Michigan. The people working there were so nice and happy to help. We will definitely be returning soon.

So grateful this is here!!! Its not the place we can do FULL grocery shopping, but it's great when we have to grab stuff quickly. Having just from back from Italy and being a big espresso lover... the Great Lakes coffee shop in there has the BEST lattes and espresso!!! They do samples and that's so nice.

All the aisles in the store are too narrow to navigate more than 2 carts at once. Limited selection of products. Good for vegans. Even with minimal customers the 8n store, it's still cramped for space. After first visit, I won't be back. Too many good markets in the area to shop here. Once is enough for me.

Nice shopping experience right up until checkout. I've never seen a place push the self scan checkout like this place. Saturday, & they had ONE cashier. Three people to direct you to the self scan.

It's basically just Meijer without the thrifty acres. The same produce, but more expensive. The produce that I purchased tasted old and like cardboard. I had to toss the $3 avocado because it was brown and pocked inside. Those are signs of mishandling. They have "Farm Field Table" meats which was encouraging, but it was all frozen. The vacuum sealed bags were not sealed or have holes. There was barely anyone shopping there which is great in the pandemic, but it's obvious why. I will not return. Bummer.

I love this place. The atmosphere is sooo darn cute. I work at the hospital next door so I love popping in here during break or stopping after working and getting some groceries. They do offer the meijer brand on a lot of stuff so you can still get some good deals.

I love this new location so much, great products selection and local goods! They're kind of slacking in the vegan/ vegetarian food section (I.e morning star) I hope they offer a few more skews in the future.
