Nail salon where more than 70 marijuana plants were discovered up for lease
The space formerly occupied by the US Nails salon in a Pittsfield Township Meijer store, where police found more than 70 marijuana plants, has been put up for lease.
The space where more than 70 marijuana plants were found in April is available for lease.

A water leak on April 17 revealed a hydroponic water filter sitting outside of a closet on the upper floor of the store at 3825 Carpenter Road.
Artificial lighting was also found nearby, a situation that led to police interviewing salon employees and executing a search warrant. The plants were found during the search, according to police.
The nail salon is no longer operating in the store, a store official said. Records show the 1,227-square-foot space in the store is available for a rental rate of $27 per square foot per year.
The space is one of two spaces available inside the Meijer store. Along with the salon space, there is a 329 square-foot space, records show.
The Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team was placed in charge of the investigation into the marijuana discovery. The investigation continues.

Shouldn't this be tagged as Crime, Ann Arbor instead of Crime, Ypsilanti?

Kyle - What ever happened following the seizure back in April? Was anyone ever arrested? Was it an illegal grow operation or just one that violated Meijer's lease agreement for the space? I can't find anything about it through simple Google searches.

If it's full of water and you can't afford a leak, put it in the basement near the floor drain. Applies to waterbeds, too.

The story could explain why for at least 2-3 weeks, greeters at the Ann Arbor-Saline Road Meijer have been offering women shoppers coupons for THIS nail salon as they enter the store; to capitalize on the other Meijer nail salon closing, to lure the former salon's customers over to the Ann Arbor-Saline Road location. So they knew weeks before the publication of this story what was going on.

Slow day at the office? Nothing else going on within the Ann Arbor metropolitan area?
