Grand Rapids, Michigan is the second-largest city in the state of Michigan. Despite the state's economic woes, it is an up-and-coming city, with a vibrant downtown, and many colleges within the city. Forbes magazine just listed the city of Grand Rapids as the top city--in the #1 spot--to raise a family. Therefore, a Whole Foods store--which sells many products that Meijer or D&W don't sell--will be beneficial to families, and the whole population.
