Natural food shop to open next to organic bakery in Midtown
Willis just west of Cass will add a natural food market to its retail strip, which also includes Avalon International Breads, when Good Wells opens its doors within the month.
Operations manager James Woods says the story will be stocked with “organic produce and staples for people into health foods and natural foods.”
Currently under construction, Good Wells has long been a goal of the group working to open the store. Woods says, “Just about everybody involved are strict vegetarians and are also active in … helping to improve the health of the community. So, having a small, natural, health-food place in the heart of the community has been a dream of all of ours.”
The store will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will also carry pre-made salads and sandwiches and supplements.

Martini lounge planned for Carlton Lofts in Brush Park
An upscale martini lounge is under development in the Carlton Lofts building in Brush Park. Partners Julian Hill and Chico Sorrell have teamed up on the project, which they aim to have open by Thanksgiving.
The 4,000-square-foot lounge will be designed by Johnny Janviriya whose resume includes Crave, Congress Lounge, and Mosaic. Hill owns the Celebrity Car Wash on Woodward; Sorrell formerly represented companies such as Corvousier, Level Vodka and Mumm while previously working for a marketing company in New York. He says, “The next logical step was ownership.”
“The Brush Park area is historic and there are beautiful buildings being renovated,” Sorrell says of the location. He credits Carlton developer Jim Wickenheiser with vision to take a chance on their project. “This will bring value not just to the building, but to the whole community. We’re going to do this the right way.”
