Farmer Jack to Close 13 Detroit-Area Stores

DETROIT-Farmer Jack says it will close three Detroit locations and 10 others in the metro area as part of a cost cutting move.

By Dan Heaton | Updated on January 08, 2004

DETROIT-Local grocery story chain Farmer Jack said this week it will close 13 area stores next month, but it’s likely it will reopen some stores this spring under a new name.

The closings are part of cost cutting as the 75-year-old Detroit grocer struggles to make money. It now operates 106 stores. Farmer Jack announced last week it would close its two Lansing stores. In March 2003, the chain closed four Detroit area stores.

The latest closings include the 60,000-sf Highland Park superstore, which was built on the historic site of Henry Ford’s first auto assembly plant. Farmer Jack also plans to close three stores in Detroit and single stores in Hamtramck, Wayne, Lincoln Park, Harper Woods, Melvindale, Sterling Heights, Brighton, Rochester Hills and Ypsilanti.
