  1. Grocery Store Survey Spring 2010 Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce

  2. The Survey Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce hosted an online survey to gather information from the community on grocery stores for the White Lake Commons Plaza. Survey was started January 28, 2010. 1,932 people have taken the survey by March 30, 2010 when this report was compiled. Background: In 2007 Farmer Jack announced the closing of many stores in SE Michigan, two of the stores were in the Clarkston Area, leaving vacant anchor stores in two shopping plazas in our community. For those businesses in the plazas, retail dropped dramatically. Some businesses closed their doors and others are hanging on, hoping for a new tenant to take the anchor spot and spur commerce once again. For the Chamber businesses on Dixie Hwy., and particularly for those in White Lake Commons, it matters a great deal that there isn't a store anchoring the plaza, providing additional foot traffic and commerce. For residents, who frequently call the Chamber, it matters that they must drive to surrounding communities, sometimes 30 minutes or more to shop at grocery stores they wish were in the Clarkston area.
