The Cottages at Holland to include clubhouse, pool in Holland Twp.
A large-scale rental complex has moved closer to construction after receiving a recommendation for final PUD approval from the Holland Township Planning Commission on Oct. 6. The Cottages at Holland is planned for the northwest corner of Beeline Road and Greenly Street. The development would include 87 buildings with 265 units on property zoned R-3 High Density Residential. Capstone Communities has designed the project with a clubhouse and pool area, a fenced-in dog park, greenspaces and walking paths. More: There's a massive apartment development in the works for Holland Twp. The proposal calls for 615 parking spaces, including 272 garage spaces split between 118 attached garage stalls and 154 detached garage stalls. The development would include cottages, townhomes and manor house-inspired walk-up units. The project is meant to be pedestrian-friendly, modeled after the style and scale of pre-war American neighborhoods. Capstone Communities, based in Alabama, said the project would be the company's first in West Michigan. While rent prices haven't been finalized, the company's typical range is $1,900 to $2,700. Developers estimate construction will take about four years, though a formal timeline hasn't been decided. Following discussion Oct. 6, commissioners voted to recommend approval, with the exception of Gretchen Molotky.

Sorry, Buc-ee's, this convenience store is America's favorite
America's favorite convenience store might surprise you – and no, it's not Buc-ee's . Meijer, a Grand Rapids, Michigan-headquartered retailer, ranked No. 1 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's annual convenience store rankings. Meijer operates more than 500 supercenters, grocery stores and neighborhood markets, including 244 Meijer Express locations, across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. The company also recently signaled plans to expand into western Pennsylvania . With a score of 82 out of 100 in ACSI's 2026 Convenience Store Study , Meijer improved from its 2025 score of 76 – the study’s largest improvement. For comparison, Buc-ee's earned a 77, down from last year's score of 79. Meijer's win shouldn't surprise many, said David Ham, vice president, communications and corporate strategy at the CFI Group, a founding partner of the ACSI. "While many consumers think of Meijer primarily as a grocer or superstore, Meijer Express locations compete directly in the convenience store space," Ham told USA TODAY. Qwik Trip, Sheetz and Wawa tied for second with scores of 80. Overall, customer satisfaction with convenience stores fell 1% to 75. Last year's top convenience store, Kwik Trip, dropped 6% to 79. ACSI surveyed 9,475 convenience store customers, which
