New grocery store opens in Detroit, offers healthy food to previously lacking area

A new grocery store opened in the Linwood-Dexter area of Detroit on Saturday, offering fresh produce and healthy options to an area previously lacking in such options.

I pray this store does well, and is not targeted by criminals.....

[@bobscott6223]

Praying won't help. For decades the Arabs ran grocery stores in Detroit, you can see where that went.

[@TheAS687]

Thank you ❤

A liquor store turned into a freash food store now that;s a great start

[@DJ-vj4vi]

This is amazing feeding the community that have issues commuting to grocery stores.

[@bobscott6223]

Yeah, let them steal from her for a change.

That’s beautiful. Yes, these used to be everywhere in Detroit. Now it’s up to the people to not destroy it again

[@jeromewade4110]

And what makes you think it will be destroyed?

[@buenokostiuk4138]

@@jeromewade4110 because it’s happened before, hence most corporations pulling out of inner city Detroit

What a MARVELOUS site to see in this section of DETROIT ! Also ANOTHER Grocery Store built from the ground UP will be opening SOON in the Woodward Euclid ( NORTH END ) area ! Wishing MANY DECADES of SUCCESS for THEM BOTH !

[@bobwallace9814]

I'm big on eating healthy so I wish her all the luck in the world.

[@bobscott6223]

With no cameras or mirrors, she won't last long.

[@DetroitNinja]

Hope they make it!

[@tonyahogan3673]

I love this!! Yes! I'm so proud of her and it's a blessing to everyone in the neighborhood to have access to healthy foods and doesn't have to worry about catching the bus out of the area. I will visit really soon because I'm in the area a lot ❤🤗

[@gmw1635]

Congratulations lady❤

[@nlp6082]

Kudos! I’m sure she has the support of the city and hope there were officials there for the groundbreaking and historic event 😊

[@bobscott6223]

Not much tax base left in Detroit, no sense inviting the officials.

Problem is if it does to good and more stores open they will mysteriously catch fire

[@ninasica103]

Why?

[@lt3074]

This is beautiful, may God continue to bless her, every one involved & the community, may no weapon formed against them prosper, every need is met, peace & favor in Jesus Name, Amen🙏🏾

That area is horrible…hope she got top flight security

[@DJ-vj4vi]

Right I hope she hires someone to work there so she can be safe and keep her store open. 👍

[@bobscott6223]

She thinks she is the security.

New grocery store in Detroit will close shortly after the peeps run it out of business. Stealing has always run grocery stores out of business in Detroit and of course the gun play will always help.

[@Uvoted4this]

Are they going to have one of those signs up to say days without injuries but instead say days without a robbery. I really do hope for the best

[@markfcoble]

What about all the young black future doctors, lawyers and engineers? Will they shop there? Guessing yes and store will close soon enough....must be hard for normal folks to put up with those students?

[@ericjohnson9356]

this a good thing '' but right in the middle of pookie, and ray'' ray'' neighborhood, ' it copper time for them''''''

[@noirefit5954]

I think if she hires some white security guards she and the business will do well. She also needs her own protection if it’s allowed in that state. Kudos to her and all the black women out here making moves

[@mrg8581]

Until there is an altercation involving security with a black criminal suspect. Then looters will destroy the store.

[@Radec74]

Why did it take so long for this? It's 2023, and we're celebrating something that should have been done years ago.

[@monie2514]

Is beautiful in that area unfortunately high crimes robberies etc just a matter of time before somebody tries to vandalize or Rob. She should have picked downtown Detroit Wayne State area, New Center area, Southwest Detroit. When better picking🧐🥴📺📽️❤️🖤💛

[@sbyrstall]

Let's hope this store will stay in business. Let not the immortal thieves force it to close. Just a question, are the criminals treated the same way here like the other cities or having a conservative mayor helps??

[@_Pauper_]

I’m not sure a conservative major can stop “immortal thieves”… that’s a superhero thing maybe the X-Men or Avengers on a slow day

[@arthuridis]

Give it time. It will be ransacked and picked clean by vultures.
