STATE ROAD 23 AT THE CDP'S SOUTHERN GATE · 12980 SR 23
The first planned retail node inside the designated place stands where State Road 23 meets the Granger addresses: Granger Station, 12980 SR 23, a strip center whose anchor is Martin's Super Market Store #16 at 12850 State Road 23 and whose in-line tenancy the leasing record gives as McDonald's, Jimmy John's, Verizon, Iggy's Pizza, Ace Hardware, Fun Tan, BHG Chinese Bistro, Dunkin' Donuts, and ATI Physical Therapy (Bradley Company flyer, 2022–2023). The center's form — one grocery anchor, a fast-food pad, a hardware store, services in line — is the standard first node of a maturing suburb, and its position is the corridor's logic in miniature: on the state road, at the southwestern gate of the CDP, facing the traffic between Mishawaka's retail mass and the Granger rooftops, near an intersection the broker record credits with some 47,000 vehicles a day at SR 23 and Gumwood.
What the record reached does not give this node is its opening year — not the center's, and not its anchor store's. The grocery anchor's course is carried whole in the next entry; the center itself stands in this record by its tenancy and its broker file, and the missing year is registered, with its settling sources, in the gaps roll (GAP-BIZ-2). A bank rides inside the anchor: 1st Source Bank operates both a standalone Granger office at 12460 IN-23 and the Granger Martin's Banking Center inside the supermarket at 12850 IN-23 — the in-store banking center being itself a period artifact of the years when supermarkets carried bank branches as tenants.
