Detroit's Midtown to get new market in May

Good news for a small business in Detroit! The former Zaccaro’s Market in Detroit’s midtown will get new life in May when Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe opens in the same location.The former business closed after just a year in business which also had a reputation for high prices. However Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe will offer a different product mix that will suffice to customer's needs.

"We will mix high-end products with every day items,” he said. “Our prices will be no higher than a similar suburban store. They plan to hire 15 employees to run the market, which will be open seven days a week. They plan to start hiring in March.

There is still local businesses willing to plant a seed in Detroit as well as offer Detroiters job opportunities. Due to the failure of the auto companies, Detroit's economy has seemingly hindered the GDP in that it is not able to contribute as much to the overall U.S. economy. While this is just one small step in the restoration of the city I think it offers hope to the city.
