Meijer has three levels of remodel, the smallest is not much more than fresh paint, graphics, and lighting. This remodel is a level 3, where they will essentially be redoing everything except for the four walls and foundation. I don't know if the graphics style will be like Alpine or like Hudsonville but every department will be touched and possibly moved. In the end it should feel like a brand new store.

Now's the time to reach out to our state legislative representatives. Otherwise I imagine it would be status quo like always.

I hope so!

Just saw this post on Instagram. Looks like Greg still wants to make some money from this property for the time being.

Again, we're talking about the necessity of cars in West Michigan society. East Hills is super cool, with avocado toast, fancy lattes, and $40 haircuts. But we can still drive our cars to a Great Clips, Meijer, and McDonalds's if that's what the consumer wants.

They only want people to be mellow outside of the city limits...

From the City of Wyoming's Twitter page: Council approves an amendment to Chapter 14, Article VI, of the City Code to Prohibit Recreational Marihuana Establishments and Medical Marihuana Facilities in the City (First Reading). The ordinance requires Council to review the ordinance in 18 months, if not before.

Pricing is reasonable, somewhere in between regular and promoted price at a traditional Meijer. Also, yes, you will see private label products at the store, in fact some items like toilet paper will only have the Meijer brand. I was told that if they carry a product with a Meijer branded equivalent, the own brand will also be on the shelf. FYI, I work for Meijer.

They're going through the whole process of this project and not putting another thru lane in? Seems awfully short sighted....

Yup.

My mom, who grew up in GR but now lives in Northern Virginia, texted me about a show on the cooking channel called "Cheap Eats." She said they featured Donkey Taqueria, The Winchester, and Stella's Lounge on tonight's episode.

They're also building a new one across the street from their corporate headquarters to replace the existing little station they have now.

Aquinas currently plays in my neighborhood in Wyoming at Kimble stadium. From what I understand, they have played there for several years.
