Meijer #123 is a Meijer supercenter located at 16300 Fort Street in Southgate, Michigan. The store opened on August 30, 1994.[1][2]

History[edit | edit source]

Around 1990, 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 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.[3]

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, store #123, opened on August 30, 1994.[4] The store was the first Meijer in Michigan to incorporate a "Food Fair" section consisting of three specialty restaurants, each serving Chinese, pizza, and hamburgers, and two expanded cafe areas, a concept that Meijer had already been offering in it's first stores in Indiana, which opened earlier in 1994.[5]

Huntington Bank took over the bank alcove space on July 20, 2015.[6]
