Family Video of Big Rapids


 * Family Video of Big Rapids: This Family Video store was a frequent stop for renting films that would be used for school projects - or just because. One of these was Hollow Man 2, which was used for a philosophy class assignment.  In 2020, Family Video closed all its brick-and-mortar stores.  The building was divided into two parts.  One of these became a Hungry Howie's, with the other becoming the Big Rapids Foot and Ankle Clinic in 2021.


 * Wal-Mart of Big Rapids: Wal-Mart of Big Rapids is where the Dozerfleet founder did most food and accessory shopping outside the confines of on-campus cafeterias. Initially, it had a Flagstar ATM inside.  This was eventually removed, which made banking more difficult.


 * Wesco Gas Station of Big Rapids: Very conveniently nearby to Wal-Mart was a Wesco gas station.


 * Meijer of Big Rapids: Not as much shopping occurred here, although the Dozerfleet founder's first TV stand was purchased here for $44.
 * This inspired the TV stand that Hadley Mint has in Room 241 of North Bond in Sorbet.
 * Many Meijer Madness events were held here in that time.
 * It as during the August 2006 Meijer Madness that the Dozerfleet founder had the whole theater to himself for Snakes on a Plane - which inspired an animated series pitch.
