Southeast Michigan Family Video Locations (2017)

This post will look at retail in multiple Southeast Michigan cities.

Finally, one of the most anticipated events to happen on this blog...the Family Video posts have begun! This post, the first of the series, is the list of all of the Family Video stores in southeast Michigan as of 2017, nearly four years before Family Video went out of business due to COVID and the resulting delays in new movie releases in turn triggering customer traffic declines. I am especially emphasizing 2017 specifically because this was before Family Video began the first of a series of closures leading up to the full closures in early 2021.

 And with that, we finish up the first of several upcoming posts relating to the sudden collapse of Family Video. I am planning on spreading these posts out rather than doing them all at once, so keep watching SMR, because you'll never know when I'll release these posts!

And until next time...

Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, Auburn Hills, Michigan

This sign appears at all four of the vehicular entrances into Great Lakes Crossing Outlets. This enclosed outlet mall located about halfway between Detroit and Flint currently features nine anchor tenants. Sorry for the massive lack of updates...well over a year, to be exact. But anyways, back to our regularly scheduled program... Great Lakes Crossing Outlets (which will be abbreviated as GLX for the remainder of this entry unless when the full name must be used) is a massive enclosed outlet mall (true to it's slogan, "Michigan's Largest Outlet Center") located in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills, Michigan, featuring 180 stores and nine anchors. This is perhaps one of three locations that contribute to Auburn Hills' significance-along with the city being the location of Chrysler's world headquarters and the Palace of Auburn Hills, the home arena of the NBA's Detroit Pistons. The site, located approximately halfway between two Automotive Revolut

Southland Center, Taylor, Michigan

The center, the last of Detroit's "Land" malls, is currently anchored by Macy's, JCPenney and Best Buy. Many metropolitan areas have at least one area that's ignored a lot and Metro Detroit is no exception. In this case, that area is called "Downriver." It is a collection of 18 Wayne County communities that are located south and southwest of Detroit, extending down from that city to the Monroe County line. It's history almost parallels Detroit's, like it's major city, Downriver was a major area of French settlement in the 18th century. Today, Downriver is unlike anywhere else in the region, which transitions from the oldest houses in River Rouge, Wyandotte and Trenton to the postwar tract homes in Allen Park, Southgate and Taylor to the rural-ness of Romulus and Flat Rock.

Meijer #35 14640 Pardee Road, Taylor, MI Driving distance and time from downtown Detroit: 16.9 miles, approx. 20 minutes This Meijer store opened on July 19, 1977 as a Thrifty Acres store, the first in the Downriver area of Wayne County. It's trade area includes almost all of Taylor, far western Southgate, half of Romulus and far northern Brownstown and Huron Townships. When it opened, it originally would have looked like this , with a very 1970's interior, including a kids-based "Oasis" section in the center of the store. Due to concerns for safety and responsibility, the "Oasis" would be removed by 1985. In 1991, this store had a major exterior and interior remodel, with the exterior repainted gray with a red band and this logo over the entrances. Interior overhead signage was replaced with red-colored signs for the grocery and health & beauty departments, and green-teal for t
