Grocery stores are sort of few and far between in Detroit. It is a "food desert". So it's great that we have a grocery so close. Selection not super great - it's a small grocery with no organic selections and not very cheap either. On the corner of Lawrence and Dexter - blocks away. Best not to walk around Dexter after dark though. Still a bit sketchy. Take a car or uber at night.
