Downtown Grocery Coming To Detroit Lofts?

[dbacks fan]

So it's not Food Lion because it's out of their distribution area, it's not Walmarts Marketside meant to copy Tesco's Fresh&Easy since Walmart only built for of them in AZ and they are closing, it's not Tesco since they are still concentrating on on CA,AZ,NV. Could it be a Ralph's Market from CA since they are owned by Kroger that has distribution centers in MO and TX? Or is it an offshoot of Petty's based on Tesco/Walmarts ideas?

That's why I suggested Petty's. I was just thinking and guessing was all. I don't know all the local players that are in the grocey game in Tulsa anymore, same as it is out here. It's hard to tell who is truly local anymore.

Spell much people? I say its a Safeway.....

It's not a chain.

It's more like http://www.themarketatlarimer.com/, only with more "staples."

In addition to grocery (deli meats, fresh produce, dairy, baked goods, basic medicines, beer, soda, etc), think fresh flowers, a chef prepared food line (like Whole Foods), and a coffee bar.

Urban Market. Locally owned. It's a place to eat, get coffee, or buy some toothpaste.

Theoretically.

Except it will probably be a quarter rather than a penny.

Downtown Denver still has no grocery store.....I wouldn't hold your breath.

Corner market by Batman? Perhaps.

Downtown can't support a grocery store yet.

I live downtown, I would support a grocery store.

Yes, people who live downtown may or may not go to a grocery store downtown depending on what they have in stock and what brands, etc etc.  This isn't going to be a walmart.  You want 10 different kinds of tortilla chips you won't be in luck.

On another note:

Those that live downtown, what do you want out of a downtown grocery store?

Can't people get Juice they want at the corner of 3rd and Elgin?

Basics (veggies, fruit, meat, dairy, toothpaste) and a bag of dogfood
