Back in August, we wrote about a new grocery store moving into the building that once was home to a Kroger store in East Dearborn.

On Monday, the new store at 13661 Colson St. near the corner of Schaefer Rd. and Michigan, celebrated its grand opening.

Called Dearborn Fresh Supermarket, the new 50,000 sq.-ft facility features a wide range of traditional & international groceries, fresh produce, fresh meats & poultry. It is much more than your average grocery store.

The Dearborn Fresh Supermarket also features an Oasis Cafe for lunch on the spot, bulk food section, Tim Horton’s, Sweet Dreams Cakes & Pastries, a sushi bar, Hashem’s Nuts & Coffee Gallery, a flower shop, a pharmacy with a cell phone shop and a fashion accessory store.

“As our country plunges into deeper debt and higher rates of unemployment, we believe that a personal business initiative and an entrepreneurial spirit may well maximize the strength of our falling economy,” said Fuad and Kamal Turfah, the co-owners of the store, in a press release.

We wish the store the best of luck. Dearborn Fresh is open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
