A disturbing fact about Detroit: There are no major retail stores inside the city limits. No Walmart, no Target, no Sears, no K-Mart, no Mervyns, no JC Penneys. Nothing.
Detroit residents have to leave the city to shop.
Not if they want to shop at say....Home Depot in Detroit
OR say Kmart in Detroit
19990 Telegraph Rd, Detroit, 48219 - (313) 537-8010
Or say they need groceries, they can shop at the Kroger in Detroit
14383 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, 48205
You are exaggerating and generalizing. I am the last person to defend Detroit, but there ARE some major chain stores inside the city limits. These are major chain stores, although there are only a few of them in the city limits. I could go on, but you get the idea.
OOOH...Lookie here....a Target in Detroit?????! 8500 E 8 Mile Rd, Detroit, 48234
Sears actually has a paint store in Detroit. Sure it gets lots of business.
Can't find a Mervyn's or JC Penney in Detroit. Darn.
