Pop-ups sometimes don’t work. Avalon, the well-known local purveyor of many breads, sweets and other tasty goods, had opened a spot in the Mike Ilitch School of Business. The announcement was in June, and the opening a bit later. [Now, the South End reports that the shop’s location is no more](https://www.thesouthend.wayne.edu/news/article%5F5dd2c682-eb83-11e8-9f71-7b35afa77d03.html?fbclid=IwAR29Fb4w-i1uKDZMHbGilICUrd8Q7r7cOr7w%5F5dkT8kY8AYNtVZQidiXXZc&ref=dailydetroit.com).

To take its place in the 1,000 square foot of retail it leaves behind will be two spots, one being a rotating pop-up.

The article also says that the Avalon space didn’t have a direct door with access to the school. Students would have to leave the building then go to the Avalon.

**Two Cents Take:** You might think being right next to the stadium is a perfect location for things, but outside of game days, that particular block is often very quiet. This is part of the issue with stadium-focused development in general. Outside of game traffic, unless you do more than the stadium, it’s a dead zone. You also have New Order Coffee right straight up the street with a great ambiance and an established clientele.

If you’re not going to hyper-serve the school (not having direct access seems like a totally dumb move), there’s not going to be much else for a coffee shop there since it’s not like many of the Ilitch’s plans for District Detroit have happened on that side of the street.
