DETROIT (WXYZ) â Meijer s new Rivertown Market coming to Detroit later this year will be led by a native Detroiter. The grocer announced Monday that Marcus Reliford will lead the market, which will be in Detroit s East Jefferson Corridor.
The market will also feature a second location for popular Detroit eatery Mudgie s Deli, and have a Great Lakes Coffee coffee shop.
Reliford, who joined Meijer in September 2020, has 15 years experience under his belt in Georgia and Michigan.
âI grew up on the west side of Detroit as a kid, and came back recently to help give back and contribute to my community and city,â Reliford said in a release. âThis is our first store in downtown Detroit. Thereâs no one who wanted this job more than me. It feels good to be home.â
Reliford, a Detroit native, joined Meijer in September 2020. He comes to Meijer with 15 years of retail experience working in several hourly and management roles in Georgia and Michigan.
“I grew up on the west side of Detroit as a kid, and came back recently to help give back and contribute to my community and city,” said Reliford in a news release. “This is our first store in downtown Detroit. There’s no one who wanted this job more than me. It feels good to be home.”
Reliford lives three blocks from the new store.
Rivertown Market will focus on a different shopping experience, similar to Meijer s three other smaller-format stores: Bridge Street Market in Grand Rapids, Woodward Corner Market in Royal Oak, and Capital City Market in downtown Lansing.
