- Ann Arbor's Bombay Grocers buys former Fantasy Attic store on Packard for expansion, AnnArbor.com, March 2010
An Indian grocery is moving forward with plans to expand on the east side of Ann Arbor - but instead of building a new store, Bombay Grocers will move a few doors west into an existing storefront. Owners Mukesh and Bharti Patel bought the 8,000-square-foot building most recently home to Fantasy Attic on Packard, just east of Platt Road, in early March.

Every inch of its towering white shelves is packed with Indian and Pakistani bulk foods and spices. Don't shop hungry: the aroma of cardamom, cinnamon and cumin fills the two tiny isles, triggering visions of steaming curry and masala dishes. And it's no wonder. Bombay Grocers has a wall of spices spanning half the store's length.

But don't fret. They're not leaving, they're just moving. Their business has grown in the last year and they have, in turn, outgrown their building.
