Project BarFly, the west Michigan-based hospitality group that oversees HopCat restaurants, the Grand Rapids Brewing Co., and Stella’s Lounge, is opening a new HopCat this summer at the Mall at Partridge Creek (17380 Hall Road) in Clinton Township.

HopCat has already opened two restaurants in metro Detroit. One is located at 4265 Woodward Ave., in Detroit. The second is at 17800 Haggerty Road in Livonia.

“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,” says Ned Lidvall, CEO of BarFly. “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.”

Anticipated to open early this summer, the Clinton Township HopCat is taking over the former BurgerFin spot. The 7,000-square-foot HopCat will be able to accommodate 250 guests. It will have a wrap-around bar, booth seating, a dog-friendly outdoor patio, a four-season room, and a private event space for up to 50 people. HopCat will begin its hiring in March, looking to hire 125 employees.

“We are thrilled to welcome HopCat to The Mall at Partridge Creek,” says Carmen Spinoso, CEO of Spinoso Real Estate Group, “Their commitment to quality, scratch-made and award-winning food, and exceptional service resonates with our vision to create unique and quality experiences for our guests. HopCat’s parent company, BarFly, stands out with its mission of environmental sustainability and community engagement.”
