answer:Kroger I think would be Publix-equivalent operating in Michigan. Also Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have stores in the Detroit metro area. Nino Salvaggio is a wonderful gourmet-ish grocery, with just three locations around Detroit. Meijer is a large regional company based in Western Michigan with stores in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Meijer’s stores are like a really big (and really good) grocery and a Target combined. Meijer is the bomb, I wish one were convenient to me.
