===Meijer #123 (1990–present)===
Around 1990, [[Walker, Michigan|Walker]]-based supercenter chain [[Meijer]] began considering opening a store in Southgate, and was planning to erect the store on the site of the then-abandoned [[E.J. Korvette]] shopping center across the street. Following the Fort Drive-In Theatre's screen damage, the city of Southgate persuaded Meijer to instead build their store on the site of the drive-in and the neighboring [[16450 Fort Street (Southgate, Michigan)|AMC Southgate 4]] theater. However, this plan was initially met with heavy backlash from residents, some of whom even used profanity against City Council members.<ref>Lewis, Kelly. [https://
Despite the opposition, Meijer proceeded to purchase the Fort Drive-In Theatre and AMC Southgate 4 Theatres properties in December 1991. After the Southgate 4 building was demolished in 1993, construction of the Meijer store began.
The Meijer store, [[Meijer 123|store #123]], opened on August 30, 1994.<ref>Cecilia, Deck. [https://
