Mystery store: 176 S Main St, Mt. Clemens MI

Last month, I spent some time in Michigan to do research and scour the Detroit Metro for interesting relics from grocers past.
The first serendipitous moment of that trip happened when I stumbled across this store. I was a block away, I spotted the barrel roof and pylon out of the corner of my eye...and promptly drove around the block just to take a picture of it! Here it is:
Any ID I can put on this one? National is my first guess (and the place and era seem right for that chain), but I don't know the history or veracity of this particular location. The facade has also been stuccoed over, obscuring its original brickwork.
