Report: Menards Moving Into Telegraph Road Shopping Center

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - A new Menards store could soon be coming to Oakland County.

According to Crain's Detroit, the home improvement retailer plans to move into the 87-acre Village at Bloomfield development project along Telegraph Road just north of Square Lake Road.

Demolition at the project site  -- which was halted in 2008 -- is expected to resume in February or March, with construction on the shopping center to begin in the fall. The 236,000-square-foot store is reportedly planning to open in 2018 or 2019.

Other plans for the shopping center include a movie theater, clothing store, grocery store and fitness center, with space for a small office and roughly 400 apartments.

Menards operates five other stores in the metro Detroit area, in Wixom, Warren, Chesterfield Township, Livonia and Ann Arbor.
