(WXYZ) — Detroit cafe and restaurant Folk announced it is opening a new retail store inside Michigan Central Station later this month.

According to Folk, the store will be called "Neighbor X Folk" and will offer a variety of goods, plus host events throughout the year.

"Our modern sundry and gift shop celebrates Detroit along with a thoughtful line-up of minority-owned and sustainably minded brands for the conscious consumer. Our space isn’t just a retail store—we also offer programming that enhances community connections where local makers, artisans, and creators showcase their work, share their passion, and connect with the community," Folk said in the announcement.

The station reopened to the public earlier this year and workers began moving into the train station last month.
