Is Something New Opening At Johnny's Place In Imlay City?

Social media is buzzing about the old Johnny's Place restaurant in Imlay City.

The popular Lapeer County spot closed earlier this year. The following message was posted on social media at that time,

To Johnny's Place friends, loved ones, family, staff and beloved patrons:

After a very long year and some deep consideration, I am sadly announcing that Johnny's Place will be closing its doors. Our last day we will be open to the public will be January 27th, 2024.

As you know now, in late 2019 I took a leap of faith and agreed to purchase what you now know as Johnny's Place. Going into this purchase in 2020, I had someone to run the day to day operations while I continued my other career. Just like the surprise of Covid, there were changes in those original plans.
