Rick Snyder was on twitter bragging up the opening of the new Meijer in Detroit today.

I told him “That’s great but how bout somebody tackling those Detroit regulations and taxes so the little guys can get a piece?”

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.
