Wishful thinking at this point?
Sounds like it.
A rumor that Meijer plans to open a store near the new hockey arena, just north of the Fisher Freeway, just isn't true.
Hank Meijer, CEO of Meijer stores said at a store opening in Flat Rock this month, according to Crain's Detroit Business:
"We don't have any specific plans for (The District Detroit). We know that at some point it would be important for us to have a smaller format that could take advantage of other opportunities, but we're not there yet."
Frank Guglielmi, senior director for communications for Meijer, added: "That's a rumor. We don't know where that started, but we were all scratching our heads as to where that rumor came from. We think it's because we're a major partner with the Detroit Red Wings. So a lot of people said, 'Oh, they must be putting a store there.'?"
