FUN (or not?) FACT: There are no longer any Pizza Hut locations in Detroit.
Hey, it’s JB!
Last Friday, I toured a new commercial kitchen in East English Village expected to open in June.
E. Warren Development Corp. broke ground about a year ago on the renovation project at the site of a former Pizza Hut. The kitchen will be rentable by the hour and offer unique benefits like stocking local produce for renters to purchase, a compost program, and a service window to turn the kitchen into a pop-up take-out restaurant.
The kitchen will be inspected next week, and if it passes, is expected to open in the first week of June.
The kitchen represents the first phase of a larger project that the E. Warren Development Corp. is working on to increase food access, support local entrepreneurs and revitalize the neighborhood.
