Women's retailer Madewell is opening a Detroit location on Woodward Avenue, according to a job listing posted on the company's website.

The listing seeks a store director for a "new store" on Woodward. The move was first reported by Crain's Detroit Business, which said the new location would likely be between John R Street and Grand River Avenue.
