The former Blockbuster, and Manzella's Fruit Market, are among a handful of buildings which are in various stages of redevelopment in St. Clair Shores.
A number of redevelopment projects in vacant buildings are underway in St. Clair Shores.
These projects include a mix of renovations, relocations and new businesses throughout which have been announced by city officials and advertising on the buildings.

Glad to hear we are filling vacant buildings, but a Dollar General? No offense, but do we really need another one of those? I was hoping for something more useful.

I agree!!!! Maybe a good dine in restaurant would be more appealing.

I was really hoping for a Trader Joes or something like that in the Manzella building.

Tj' s or a Whole Foods store would be great. I also support small businesses....deli' s or coffee houses....places people can gather at...I think St Clair Shores needs to look at cities like Rochester and work on a quaint downtown area of shops on harper ave. Promote people coming out...walking down for dinners...etc....lets see some real change and create a jewel!

I agree with you St Clair Shores would be a great place to do a lot of walking shops and dinner. Places where you could sit out side people watch and just relax. Like Rochester and Grosse Pointes, these places are packed all the time. But the problem with that is that SCS only worries about the Nautical Mile section. As long as that is kept up they dont care about the parts of town.

Trader Joe's has a location in GP. Anything outside that area in particular does not fit their demographic - I was told that by a friend who worked there. Besides, they have no great urgency to do battle with Nino Salvaggio's.

I wish the movie theatre would come back to St. Clair Shores.

Maybe Ninos should take the old Kmart Building on 13 Mile it would have better parking andthey could add alot more items in the store.

What is going on with the Bigby's that was supposed to be building at 11 Mile and Harper?

But if Ninos moved to the K-Mart building - they would no longer be in SCS. Isn't that property in Roseville?
