[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Love 'em or hate 'em Meijer generally gets at least part of what they want. But not in Detroit.

Meijer had been trying to get into Detroit for the past 15 years that I know of and the city council blocked them to the point that a couple of years ago they pretty much threw in the towel.

That they have managed to finally open a store there is a very good sign that the place is opening up a bit.

I personally prefer Meijer to Walmart but I do have a Sam’s club membership. Competition with Walmart has been good for both here in the midwest.

Here in Jackson there are two Meijer stores, a Walmart, Sam’s club, Target, Kmart, and others.
