Does anyone know when the 7-11 on Randolph in Cadillac Square is to open? The one on Jefferson and Chene had been opened for a couple of months. I see lighting inside the downtown location is on but the paper is still on the windows

Apparently Honky Tonk is the smartass ;)
Hopefully they don't open until the hot dogs have been on the metal rollers for at least 5 hours. that's when they's gettin good! mmmm! mmmm!
They will open about a month or so before some desperate fool with a gun shoots the place up.
^^^^ suburban/exurban 7-11s get robbed, too. But oh, wait, crime is an "outlier" where the 'burbanites live. Somebody gets pickpocketed in Detroit and it's "proof" that city residents are "culturally corrupt/ don't have standards"...
I had went to a Philly Steak restaurant in Grosse Pointe that had just opened this week. It had taken only three months for the restaurant to renovate the spot and open. It had taken a year or two for the 7-11 to open on Randolph and Red Hook to still trying to open in West Village. Mayor Duggan need to fire the director of the Building and Safety Permits dept and hire a whole new crew. Corruption, greed, and incompetence still plague the dept resulting in businesses not being able to open in a timely manner causing other potential businesses to have second thoughts on opening in Detroit especially the downtown area. Get rid of Greg Jackson from the Detroit scene if he or his cronies are still in the background pulling the strings. I don't go to 7-11 that much but I cant stand to see opening soon signs in Detroit a year after those signs were put up in those storefronts while suburban businesses opens a few months after their opening soon signs were hung in their storefronts
I have it on good authority that you shouldn't plan to see this store open, nor any other 7-11 in Detroit. It has nothing to do with any city department, but nice job pointing the finger in their direction. 7-eleven determined that there are better opportunities elsewhere.
Why is it assumed that it is a permit issue? This is going into a building that has had no tenants for years. It could be that major updates are required to the building. That requires a lot of coordination with the landlord to update the building. It could be that the landlord is trying to do things on the cheap, or has looked at risk/reward in a bizarre way. It could be that they have to renegotiate about who is in charge of what.
There are lots of businesses that open in Detroit with much shorter turn arounds. Every situation is unique.
Yeah, you know that I heard once from the comments section of an MLive article that you have to pay off three dozen of Kwame's closest relatives to get a permit!! I can't believe that! I bet Mike Duggan replaced them with HIS OWN FAMILY MEMBERS!! Can you believe the laziness of these underworked paper pushers????
Did you ever stop to think that the city's Building Department may have been gutted with all the cuts and their workload isn't as manageable as you think? Wait, naw, it's Detroit, it's corruption or stupidity or Democrats or laziness or whatever you feel.
