Meijer to break ground on second Detroit store at former school site

Meijer plans to open its second store in Detroit by next summer after announcing today that it will break ground on its newest site on the northwest side Monday.

The Grand Rapids-based supermarket chain is building a supercenter at the site of the demolished Redford High School, a once-might institution that fell victim to violence and declining enrollment at Grand River and McNichols.

The store is expected to be similar in size to the 190,000-square-foot supermarket that opened at the Gateway shopping center at 8 Mile and Woodward last year. It is to include a gas station and drive-thru pharmacy.

With the opening of Whole Foods in Midtown last year, Detroiters are beginning to have more grocery options with a wider selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, which are largely lacking at the city’s numerous liquor stores and small grocers.
