Rumors have been swirling through the community for months that Family Fare, located at 4175 17 Mile did not renew their lease on the store, which is up in November.

The Post called SpartanNash for confirmation and received this response from Meredith Gremel, Director of Corporate Affairs. “SpartanNash is continually looking at ways to coordinate our distribution and retail business segments to become more efficient to better meet all of our customer needs. We do not respond to store closing rumors.”

However, a simple Google search pulled up the store on several different commercial real estate sites showing retail property for sale.

The property shows it is listed at $1,850,000. A partial description for the property reads: Cedar Springs Family Fare store, Remodeled inside and out, very well maintained, existing lease runs through November 2014 with great income remaining. Building also offered for sale. Different suite sizes available for lease – see other lease listings. Great location with easy access to 131.“

Family Fare was formerly Great Day, before it joined the Spartan chain of stores, and has been a fixture in Cedar Springs for many years. We will let readers know when we receive more info from SpartanNash.
