There is a huge mural on the side of the building that says, "Carhartt Detroit Store, Born in Detroit 1889". Best photographed from the other side of the highway.

Awesome store that stocks some stuff other Carhartt retailers don't always have, Cass is currently under construction but the store is still open!

Visited today all the way from California, loved the expertise of the location and phenomenal customer service. Great place to stop by and take yourself as a guest to the flagship Carhartt store in Detroit!
Carhartt was born in Detroit in 1889. 126 years later (on August 27th, which happened to be our founder Hamilton Carhartt’s birthday) we opened our Flagship store. We are located at 5800 Cass Ave in Midtown (on Wayne State campus) in a building that is in the national historical buildings registry.
The people who brought the store to life and built the gem of our retail owned store fleet were union workers that are natives of Detroit and Michigan. The wood that is used throughout the store is reclaimed lumber from houses that have been torn down in Detroit (and each piece is stamped with the address that it came from). Our mural that faces I-94 (and is one of the largest in the city) was designed and painted by locals from Detroit.
