LANSING - When customers visit the five retail shops in Middle Village at its new home inside the historic Atrium Building Julie Reinhardt hopes it gives them a feel for what the century-old space should be − an "exciting retail space."
Nonprofit Downtown Lansing Inc. started Middle Village at 112 S. Washington Square in 2021. It has been home to 15 small businesses in the last three years. Most now operate in storefronts throughout the Lansing area.
Earlier this month the micro market, which now includes three new retailers, moved about a block away and across Washington Square, to the ornate Atrium Building at 215 S. Washington Square. Built in the 1920s, it was once the Strand Theater.
