Red Crown Owner Reports 'Slammed' Opening
The new Red Crown restaurant in Grosse Pointe Park has been featured in the Detroit Free Press, where the owner reported her first week as being highly successful with a line of people waiting to get in the first night.
Red Crown restaurant served 400 meals its first Friday. There were also 25 people lined up outside on opening night March 6, according to information the owner, Mindy Lopus, reported to the Free Press.
The restaurant is one of three Lopus is opening in Grosse Pointe Park this year. Construction is slated to break-ground in a few weeks on Tallulah's and the alterations to the former Mulier's Market for the future BonaFide Bakery are nearly complete, as reported by Grosse Pointe Patch this week.
The trio of eateries is only the beginning of a larger development plan by Grosse Pointe Park's Cotton family for the Kercheval Avenue business district. They began acquiring commercial properties in the Park at least a year ago--not long after the family's efforts in the residential sector related to converting vacant homes into student housing with financial incentives.
