HALLSTARZ BUSINESS CENTER is a locally owned and operated business services hub located in Detroit, Michigan. Established in 1985 (originally as Hall’s Variety Mall, Inc., later renamed Hallstarz, LLC), it has grown from modest beginnings—shoe repair and a small variety store—to become a full-service provider of printing, shipping, document, and business-support services for individuals and small businesses in the Detroit area.
Its mission is to be a dependable, trustworthy, and community-focused business center, offering “Super-Star Customer Care.” It aims to simplify business related tasks—printing, shipping, notarization, tax help—so clients can focus on their core work.

- Nearest Public Transit / Bus: The Livernois Avenue area is served by Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) bus routes; specifics depend on route and schedule. (No metro or rail station immediately adjacent; Detroit has no metro system in this location.)
- Airport Access: Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is the nearest major airport, around 20-25 miles depending on route and traffic. Ground transportation (taxi/rideshare) or driving is typical.

Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Pros: • Strong community presence; many reviews praise the friendly, helpful, courteous staff. • Wide variety of services under one roof: print, ship, notary, admin, etc. Saves time rather than visiting multiple service providers. • FedEx Authorized ShipCenter makes shipping smoother and more credible. • Competitive local pricing relative to specialty shops in Detroit. • Convenient hours on weekdays; open evenings (until 7 PM) helps people who work during the day. • Established history and local trust (over 30+ years) lends reliability. |
Cons: • Not a business center in the coworking / private offices sense—no dedicated offices or shared workspaces; those wanting meeting rooms or desks to rent hourly may not find what they need. • Closed on Sundays; limited weekend hours (Saturday shortened) which may restrict flexibility. • Parking and transit accessibility may be challenging depending on time of day, as it’s in an urban community and street parking may be congested. • Some customers have posted complaints about scheduling / wait times (e.g. for driving tests, road test services) and double-booking issues. • Limited after-hours service; for urgent tasks (especially beyond 7 PM), customers may need alternative providers. |
