Route 1: From Holland (30 Minutes)
If you're on the west side of Michigan coming from Holland or the lakeshore, take US-31 north toward Grand Rapids. You'll connect with I-196 heading inland, then transition to I-96 heading east.
From I-96, take the exit toward 28th Street Southeast. Follow 28th Street south for about a mile - Olswell is right on the corridor. Total drive time is roughly 30 minutes from Holland proper, maybe 40 from the lakeshore communities.
This is the easiest west-to-east approach into the Grand Rapids area. I-196 and I-96 are well-maintained, traffic is usually moderate, and the final stretch on 28th Street is straightforward.
Route 2: From Muskegon (45 Minutes)
Coming from Muskegon or the northern lakeshore, head south on US-31 until you hit M-120 or connect with I-96 heading east. Either way, you want to end up on I-96 eastbound toward Grand Rapids.
Take I-96 east into Grand Rapids, then follow the same exit strategy: get onto 28th Street Southeast and follow it south. Olswell is clearly visible from the road.
Total time is about 45 minutes from downtown Muskegon, possibly longer depending on where you're starting in that area. I-96 is a major corridor and generally has good traffic flow.
Route 3: From Lansing (65 Minutes)
Lansing to Grand Rapids is a straight shot west on I-94. This is a well-traveled route and relatively easy.
Head west on I-94 from Lansing toward Kalamazoo, then continue past Kalamazoo heading toward Grand Rapids. I-94 merges with I-96 west of Kalamazoo - stay on I-96 as it continues north toward Grand Rapids.
Exit toward 28th Street Southeast. You're now on the Grand Rapids retail corridor. Follow 28th Street to Olswell.
Total drive time is about 65 minutes. I-94/I-96 traffic can be a bit heavier during rush hours, especially near Kalamazoo, so aim for off-peak times if possible.
Route 4: From Kalamazoo (50 Minutes)
Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids is even simpler - it's basically the same route as Lansing, just shorter.
Take I-94 north from Kalamazoo toward Grand Rapids. As I-94 approaches Grand Rapids, it merges with I-96. Follow I-96 as it curves northeast into the city.
Exit toward 28th Street Southeast. You're close now - follow 28th Street to Olswell.
Total time is approximately 50 minutes from downtown Kalamazoo. Traffic depends on time of day, but this route is generally smooth.
28th Street Corridor Details
28th Street Southeast is a major retail and commercial corridor. You'll pass shops, restaurants, and other businesses. Olswell fits naturally into this environment. The road is well-lit, well-maintained, and busy enough that it's safe and easy to navigate.
Parking at Olswell specifically is straightforward - pull into the lot and park near the entrance. Customer spots are designated and available. Even on busier days, there are plenty of spaces.
Traffic & Timing
Grand Rapids traffic is generally moderate compared to Detroit or bigger metro areas. Rush hours are 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM. If you're driving during those windows, add 10-15 minutes to any estimate.
Mid-morning (10 AM-noon) or mid-afternoon (2-4 PM) are your smoothest windows. Evening after 6:30 PM is also good.
Winter driving on these routes is usually manageable. I-94, I-96, and I-196 are main corridors that get snow removal treatment quickly. Still, allow extra time in heavy snow or ice.
