🌮 Miny’s Expands To Ann Arbor: Miny’s, the popular Ypsi-based Mexican restaurant, is opening up a second location at 1141 Broadway Street (an old Cottage Inn location). Miny’s will occupy the space next to the new Madras Masala site. Neither Miny’s nor Madras Masala have released opening dates for their new restaurants.

 

🍻 Arbor Brewing Co. Returns: After the pandemic forced them to close their Ann Arbor location, Arbor Brewing Company returned to town last week by purchasing the Session Room on Jackson Road. The restaurant, bar, and beer garden has been renamed Arbor Brewing Company Session Room and is maintaining the same staff and menu with the addition of 20 Arbor Brewing Co. beers on tap.

 

🍎 Concordia’s Future: Amid the financial crisis announced earlier this year and the potential closing of the school, the Board of Regents at Concordia University Ann Arbor met last week and declared 1) the university will remain open past June 2025 and 2) will remain a part of the broader Concordia University network, rather than going independent. The decision to remain open will likely come with more limited program offerings after the 24-25 school year, staff layoffs, and the selling of some campus buildings.
