The Madison Heights store closed about 4-5 years ago, with the Lansing store before that.
I think the other store that closed may have been in Ann Arbor. -SNIP-

If you have their contact information (e-mail addresses would be great, but telephone numbers and postal addresses would be fine), I encourage you to send these hobby vendors' contact information to Semroc, as they are *ALWAYS* on the lookout for new retailers for their model rocket kits. (They thanked me profusely for sending them the contact information for the hobby shops I frequented when I lived in Miami and northern Georgia.)
