There is an Aldi supermarket at this location. The car dealer mentioned above is actually next door, and is an Enterprise Rent-a-Car. (It used to be an old Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips). There is a White Castle/Church’s on the same parking lot as the Aldi, which was part of the Towne 4 parking lot. I was actually there when the Towne 4 was knocked down by a wrecking ball.
The Towne had a very unusual archetectural feature- there were steel beams that formed a sort of “Y” shape on the exterior of the building, with common brick inbetwwen and surrounding the steel “y"s. I saw several movies there, "Big top Pee Wee” being very memorable. I was one of three people in the theatre!
I believe the Towne was built by the Sloan family for their Suburban Detroit chain, AMC bought them out in the 80s.
This site gives the address as 26300 Greenfield Road.
