Granite City Brewery/Restaurant looking for high profile location in downtown Detroit

But they have one in Troy...

But they have one in Troy...

Which is the only one opening.

Again... the standard MO of our local media with breathless reporting of a fantasy scenario. Would they "like" to open a Detroit location sometime in the undefined future and undefined location? Sounds like it. Will they? Remains to be seen.

But as for now, the only thing that is actually happening is the opening of another bland corporate lunch spot for a bland corporate section of the burbs. woo hoo.

Seriously.

The Free Press Business section is also often one of their stranger and sloppier sections of the paper, I have noticed, as well:
"As the pair returns to their native Michigan as successful national restaurateurs, they're opening their latest upscale casual restaurant in Troy at Big Beaver and I-75, not far from the street that historically divided metro Detroit."
8 Mile??


As much as I think they'd do well if they got a spot near Comerica Park it sure doesn't sound like they have any serious interest in the city.

"It's perfectly situated for people on the east side and the west side."
I guess some people are really liberal with our definitions of east side and west side... This Detroit eastsider is a half hour away...not that I'd go there...I hope they work hard, succeed and bring their business to the city, though
