I work at the U of M and just finished studying there. I think a small grocer would do well there. It wouldn't just be students living on or near campus that would be using it, but people who commute to and from campus would use it out of convenience. Considering the rapid transit will run next to this development it wouldn't be hard to imagine people commuting home from U of M to pick up a few things before getting on the bus, I know I would have!

Also, it wouldn't necessarily have to be a chain. A lot of the businesses on campus that are not controlled by Aramark are run by UMSU (Students Union) Degrees (restaurant), Hub (Bar). IQ's (pool/coffee shop), GPAS's (convenience store). It wouldn't be too hard to imagine them opening a small grocer or at least reworking GPA's into a bigger store with more options.
