CLINTON TOWNSHIP — A new restaurant is the meow of the mall.
HopCat, a Michigan-based chain, had its soft opening on May 3 in preparation of a May 11 grand opening at The Mall at Partridge Creek. The restaurant is located at the former BurgerFin.
“After opening two locations in Metro Detroit last year, we’re thrilled to be joining the Macomb County community and increasing our brand presence in this thriving market,” Ned Lidvall, CEO of BarFly, is quoted as saying in a press release.
BarFly is the parent company of HopCat and Stella Lounge, according to its website.
“It was easy to see the opportunity at The Mall at Partridge Creek — a vibrant and walkable destination. We’re confident about our decision to invest in this location as the home of our 10th Michigan HopCat restaurant,” Lidvall said in the release.
According to the company’s statement, the Partridge Creek location can accommodate 250 guests and has features like a wrap-around bar, a dog-friendly outdoor patio and a private event space for up to 50 people.
