South Side Grocery Revival Approved

Jackson’s south side is finally getting its first full-service grocery store in over 50 years, thanks to a historic $1 land deal approved by city council to a Flint-based nonprofit. Located at the long-vacant corner of Cooper and Biddle streets, the project promises fresh produce and essentials within walking distance — a dream decades in the making for residents who’ve had to travel far for groceries. While excitement is high, construction could take 2-3 years, giving time for thoughtful planning — including preserving green space — to ensure this landmark development truly revitalizes the neighborhood and brings lasting change to one of Jackson’s most underserved areas.
