Another One Bites the Dust

Menchie’s ice cream/yogurt shop on Detroit has closed.

Maybe they’re moving to One Lakewood?

Mechies and Sweet Spot have both closed within a month.
Is Lakewood turning against ice cream??

It's worth noting that Menchies is an international chain while Sweet Spot was a family business. Sweet Spot did not close for any of the usual business reasons, but simply because the owner needed to spend more time with a growing family - not the cliche, but for real.

I hesitate to add for fear of being accused of beating a dead horse that Menchies is within the lunch hour walk distance of Belle and Detroit.
