CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A vehicle smashed into the Meijer off 28th Street in Cascade Township on Thursday morning.

The sedan plowed through the front wall of the building around 9:30 a.m., taking out the customer service area.

The store had to shut down temporarily early Thursday, saying their cash registers were not functioning.

As of 12:20 p.m., they were back up and the store was once again open to customers.

"We appreciate the quick response of our team and emergency responders to care for those involved in this morning’s accident," a spokesperson for Meijer told FOX 17. "The store has reopened and we are ready to serve our customers."
