"Big news for Detroit: Meijer Inc. just signed a development agreement for a 192,000-square-foot store that will anchor the Shoppes at Gateway Park located on Eight Mile at Woodward. The entire development, which also will include a 28,000-square-foot Marshalls, is slated to span 365,000 square feet and is expected to create 600 jobs."
I hope "shrinkage" isn't a problem
I hope people will respect this store enough to allow it to turn a profit. Unfortunately, unless you're given tax breaks it makes no sense to open a business of this nature in Detroit. They'll need to implement a good security model, but not be too intrusive to deter suburban shoppers. I've seen people stealing everything in sight at the Westland Meijer, and I'm sure things won't be much better here.
