I've long thought this place would never open. Now a Whole Foods is opening a few blocks away. If they do indeed ever open they need to be able to differentiate themselves from WF and offer a unique product. One rather radical idea would be staying open very late [[midnight or later) / 24hr and offering a product mix that caters to young people [[good prices, lots of ready-made stuff but healthy/organic, lots of healthy snacks, etc). There are many stores like this in major urban cities, but not Detroit. Problem is that there isn't much density in that little area around YOBS, so that concept might work better in Downtown proper or closer to WSU.
