Location Alert!

We're looking for a couple locations in or around Grand Rapids, including:

A grocery store that has fresh products (fruit and vegetables) FOR 2-3 HOURS and a real hospital (waiting room and 1 room with equipment) FOR 1 DAY in or around Grand Rapids.

and

A closed bank for filming scenes for “30 Minutes or Less”.

Sam Tedesco, the location manager for the feature film, expounds upon this description:
A closed branch of a bank (within a 1 hour drive of Grand Rapids), either still owned by a bank or in private hands, with at least 6-8 teller positions and as large a lobby area as possible. If it’s a suburban branch, we’re trying to get one that is amongst other businesses and not set back from the road and heavily landscaped. Our bank needs to have the feel of being just outside downtown Grand Rapids, in a commercial district with more businesses and less residential sections like the neighborhood on Division south of Fulton, where the size of the buildings drops down to 2 or 3 stories. Ideally the bank would be a free standing building with its own parking lot. The more windows the better and a tile or terrazzo floor is better than carpeting, but not a deal breaker. We’ll need it for about 10 days (5 prep, 3 shoot, 2 wrap) sometime in August (exact dates are still being worked out), but we need to be able to show the director all options asap (in the next few days).

  1. If you don't post contact info how are we supposed to help the location managers?

    As for the Grocery store, what about Horrocks on Breton and 44th street?
