Target gets a New Look

Recently I noticed a lot of equipment in the parking lot adjacent to the Target store located in Greenridge Mall on Alpine Ave NW.

Today I spoke to Melissa, one of the store managers, and she told me the store is going through a complete makeover, both inside and outside and this store is the second one in the Grand Rapids area to have this done.

Once the renovations are completed at the end of June, the store will have a completely new painted look on the outside and the inside will have a new design. The store will be carrying a limited amount of fresh produce along with more coolers for refrigerated products and lots of new shelving designs throughout the store.

Move over, Milwaukee, Make Way for Alpine Township

Milwaukee has long been known as the beer capital of the world.   According to good sources, Milwaukee's beer had no special  ingredients but the men behind the breweries did.  "They were savvy, aggressive business men, and much of their success was achieved through vision, hard work and sound business sense."

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (WZZM)- One out of every five Americans has allergies and the West Michigan Whitecaps are doing their part to help them stay healthy during baseball games.

After a thorough cleaning of Fifth Third Ballpark the Whitecaps hosted their first peanut-free game of the season Wednesday night. All nutty foods were also pulled from concession menus.

The Whitecaps began the tradition a decade ago at the request of a parent with an allergic son.

CEO & managing partner Lew Chamberlin says, "It's amazing the number of kids that are touched by peanut allergies that are now getting a chance to enjoy baseball that might not have otherwise."

The Whitecaps will hold another peanut-free game Thursday.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- For the 17th year in a row, the West Michigan Whitecaps are counting on fans to help every kid get a chance to play baseball or softball.

The Whitecaps' "Give-A-Glove" campaign began on Wednesday and runs through May 30th. The team is asking for donations of new or gently used gloves to benefit kids in the Inner City Youth Baseball/Softball program.

Gloves can be dropped off at Kent and Ottawa County Fifth Third Bank branches, greater Grand Rapids YMCA's, and Fifth-Third Ballpark.

In exchange for a glove, those who donate will receive four Whitecaps tickets, a combo-meal from Wendy's, and a family guest pass to a Grand Rapids area YMCA. The Whitecaps say that's a $70 value.

The team says its campaign goal is 500 gloves this year.
