Patel Brothers, the U.S. based grocery chain focused on foods from India and the Middle East, is preparing to open a new store in Canton Township.
The plan for the 20,000-square-foot store at 6310 North Canton Center Road, between Ford and Hanford roads, was approved by the township in 2023.
The site is the former location of the Canton Computers building, which was demolished to make way for the new store.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for an anticipated opening date.
Patrick Sloan, Canton Community Planning Manager, said the company is planning to install landscaping soon, but noted proposed building plan changes are in the review stage at the township.
Established in Chicago in 1974, Patel Brothers operates more than 50
stores nationwide, including Michigan locations in Ann Arbor, Farmington Hills, Garden City and Troy.
According to the company’s website, its mission is to “bring the best ingredients from around the world, right to your doorstep. With a wide variety of authentic regional grocery and spice products, we strive to reconnect people with the familiar flavors of India.”
