This is excellent! Im hopeful that this will be a HUGE success. It has to be, if the city is to get more grocers like this.

Great! I was getting tired of going to Krogers in RO Town. I hate it there anyway. Any news on the ol Farmer Jack on St Jean/Jefferson?

That's GREAT! I live in Green Acres and that store would be a lot closer for us than going to the Wyoming & 8 Mile Krogers.

How do people like the quality at Mike's on Gratiot? I'm thinking about going over and want some feedback.

I've seen the workers at the Mike's on Gratiot put price stickers over the expired dates on luncheon meats. Not so fresh. It also smells in there.

Ed_golick did you tell anyone or did you say... hey I'm not buying meat today, it's not my problem?

I agree with Ed_Golick. The store's not all it's dished up to be by their owners. Last time I went to the one on Gratiot, I experienced the same issues that Ed did. I shop at Glory for my food. Great atmosphere, variety, cleanliness, and OK prices.

They have 5 different locations (their brand new building on 8 Mile and Groesbeck on the Eastside, plus Highland Park, Hamtramack, Southfield/Outer Drive and 7 Mile and Telegraph where the Farmer Jacks were).

Are these Chaldeans, getting it done for Detroit?
If so, stand up and cheer for them and Detroit.

I agree with Detroitrise. The Glory on 8 and Groesbeck is clean and pleasant.

We just stopped in to check out the store and were surprised that the lot was nearly full AND the store is VERY nice. Great cheese selection and a decent wine shop. The store was spotless, bright and the stock was great.

^^^Yeah, that's exactly how Kroger was when they first opened. Most of you remember how that all evolved by 2004.

It's a bit off-topic, but what are the names of teh 4 Grocers in the city of Detroit with square feet of 20,000 or more. I know one is Mikes, the Glory on 8 Mile, I'm guessing the other Mikes, but what is the other one?
