University Crossings: the corridor reaches University Drive

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

155 EAST UNIVERSITY DRIVE · SUPERTARGET OPENED 28 JULY 2002 · THE EASTERN EXTENSION

The corridor's second anchor field grew east: on University Drive, east of Grape Road, the University Crossings center took the region's second supercenter. Its SuperTarget — store T-1445 in the company's numbering, carried in the location record under the doubled name "Granger Mishawaka," the boundary confusion again in the record's own words — opened on 28 July 2002. The date and the doubled name are printed at the strength of the retail location compilations that carry them; the fact they record is plain enough, and it is corroborated in kind by the corridor's own press: by April 2009 the Granger magazine was reporting a Maurice's relocation into a former Famous Footwear space "near SuperTarget on University Drive in Mishawaka." With University Crossings, the Grape Road corridor's trade area completed its turn: the mall at Grape and 23, the strips along Grape, the lifestyle centers climbing Gumwood toward Granger, and the supercenter east on University Drive — a retail geography that follows the Toll Road's interchanges and the annexation map, and no longer follows either city's downtown street grid at all.
