Joe’s Army Navy to Move to Clawson

According to The Detroit Free Press, after 18 years in its current Royal Oak location on Woodward Avenue, Joe’s Army Navy is moving to Clawson in July. The new store will be at 1255 W. 14 Mile Road, at Crooks, in a shuttered Blockbuster store.

It will have more than 5,000 square feet of selling floor, which will allow the tactical outfitter to expand its inventory of footwear, clothing and military surplus supplies, said  Jeff Goldsmith, in a Facebook video.

Goldsmith plans to update the construction transformation as the project continues.
