Meijer Opens Neighborhood Market in Detroit

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—Michigan grocer Meijer opened a neighborhood market, focused on bringing a mix of local, fresh food to customers in the region. It’s the company’s second small format store in Metro Detroit and the fourth neighborhood market opened by Meijer.

The market features fresh and prepared foods, including bakery items, fresh meat and deli offerings, plus 2,000 local, artisan items, including Pizzaman Pizza, Bon Bon Bon, MexiBake Bakery, Crystal Eikcaj Skincare and Crown of a Woman. It also offers Great Lakes Coffee, which specializes in nitro brews and low-to-medium roasts, and an extensive beer, wine and liquor counter.

“I grew up in this town and am very proud to be back with a great team in place to ensure Rivertown Market provides a unique shopping experience to customers in the city of Detroit,” said Store Manager Marcus Reliford. “We are excited to open our doors, be a good neighbor and work every day to have the best products on our shelves.”

Rivertown Market will feature open-air elements, a design inspired by local culture in the city’s East Jefferson Corridor, with three garage-style doors that open to an outdoor fresh produce and floral area in warmer months. Additionally, local artists Desiree Kelly and Cameron Jenkins painted a mural of vibrantly colored produce on the side of the market near its parking lot entrance.
