Erma's Frozen Custard on Auburn Road in Shelby Township will open for the season on April 1.
Come rain, snow or shine, Erma's Frozen Custard will start its 71st season in Shelby Township on April 1. A summer tradition for generations, the small roadside stand served its first bowl of custard in 1942 and has become a local legend in the seven decades since. "It’s a nostalgia thing," said manager Cindy Schoenherr. "It’s always been there and it’s still kind of the same.

With Auburn Road construction due to continue through July, small business owners between Ryan and Dequindre are asking customers to continue their support and not be deterred by tedious detours.
Summer can’t come quick enough for small business owners on Auburn Road in Shelby Township. Just one month into what promises to be a messy, albeit necessary reconstruction of Auburn Road between Ryan and Dequindre, area businesses are already feeling the loss of customers deterred by orange barrels and barriers. “It’s a complicated procedure and definitely has affected business,” said Doris Mukalla, owner of the International Book Centre at 2391 Auburn Rd. “Drivers see the barriers and stay away.” While parts of Auburn Road are still accessible, the road will be completely closed to through traffic at the height of construction. However, almost all businesses are accessible via side streets and the Macomb County Department of Roads says …

Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park has set its sights on the corner of 23 Mile and Schoenherr, while AirTime Trampoline & Game Park has yet to announce a location.
With both Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park and AirTime Trampoline & Game Park announcing plans to open facilities in Shelby Township this year, prospective customers are left to wonder which business will get the jump on the other in terms of opening date. Sky Zone said "summer" in a January press release, while AirTime posted "late spring/summer" on its Facebook page Feb. 17. Tucked between Taco Bell and Plaster Playhouse, a "coming soon" sign bears witness to the fact that the corner of 23 Mile and Schoenherr will soon be home to Sky Zone, but AirTime has given no indication of where it will set up its bounce business as of yet. “In 2004 when the first Sky Zone opened its doors, we knew we wanted to spread our concept throughout the …
