Contractors in Midland, Michigan, recently discovered a 34-year-old woman living inside a Family Fare grocery store sign. The woman, whose name was not disclosed, had been residing in the sign for approximately a year and had access to amenities such as a computer, printer, and coffee maker, according to Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department. Midland, known for being the global headquarters of Dow Inc., is located 130 miles north of Detroit.
The Family Fare store is situated in a retail strip with a sign structure at the top, which is accessible from the roof. The woman was able to use electricity through a power cord plugged into an outlet on the roof, Warren said. It remains unclear how she accessed the roof without a ladder.
“She was homeless,” Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department said Thursday. “It’s a story that makes you scratch your head, just somebody living up in a sign.”
The woman is employed but apparently does not make enough money in the current economy to afford housing.
SpartanNash, the parent company of Family Fare, commended the store employees for their compassion and professionalism in handling the situation. The company’s spokesperson, Adrienne Chance, emphasized the need for more safe and affordable housing nationwide.
The woman was cooperative and left the premises without any charges being pursued. The Midland Police Department provided her with information about local services.
Saralyn Temple, the director of Midland’s Open Door, a nonprofit that provides food and shelter assistance, highlighted the need for more housing options for low-income residents in the city, which has a population of 42,000. Despite acknowledging the woman’s resourcefulness, Temple stressed the importance of finding better housing solutions for individuals in similar situations.

A woman living in a grocery store sign for a year with a computer and a coffee maker? It’s sad she couldn’t afford housing. Good on the store for handling it compassionately. Shows the struggle some face in finding affordable housing.
Can not afford to take care of people like this we have 10 million illegal aliens to support and they will receive free housing and food and thousands of dollars a month for living expenses and you are paying for it.
i Use to work in the retail grocery business … if I would have seen this and knowing she didn’t harm anything and yes she pulled power from an outlet that would amount to almost nothing as far as store use … as long as it would not come back on me … I would just keep quite …..
As would I!
It is not the fault of this woman that Biden’s regulations have basically ENSURED that a single person has to hold At Least 3-4 jobs just to pay basic rent and keep a little bit of (the poison the govt tells us is) food of the table.
I would have offered her some advise to avoid being caught\seen by anyone else, as well!
