Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc., the owner/operator and franchisor of the unique, full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burger Tavern and a leading franchisee for Buffalo Wild Wings, announced they have signed an agreement to purchase the land and building of a former Big Boy restaurant located at 2817 Kraft Avenue Cascade Township, MI. The property is on the southwest corner of Kraft Ave and 28th St. SE across the street from a Crowne Plaza Hotel, a Meijer and in close proximity to other popular retail outlets. The restaurant plans to open at the end of 2011.
“We’re excited to serve the Grand Rapids community with our sixth Bagger Dave’s restaurant. With a growing population, Grand Rapids is Michigan’s second largest city, making this a key location to help build the Bagger Dave’s brand. It’s a high-profile location consistent with our plans to expand Bagger Dave’s through corporately-owned and franchised locations throughout Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin,” commented Michael Ansley, President and CEO of DRH.
Intended to fill the niche between fast food and casual dining, Bagger Dave’s provides quality food at an ultra-casual price point in a full-service, neighborhood-oriented environment. The menu features fresh food, several signature items, and the ability for each customer to create their own “legend” burger. Complemented by house-made sauces and a full-service bar featuring Michigan craft beers, Bagger Dave’s is truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
