The new FED restaurant, now open for business on South Main Street, isn’t the only M-15 eatery up for something new.
The Old Detroit Burger Bar is ready to start renovations on the former Nickelodeon restaurant on M-15, north of Rattalee Lake Road.
“That Nickelodeon’s been such an eyesore for so long, it’ll be nice to get something in there that’s kept up,” said Pat Kittle, Independence Township supervisor.
The township issued a building permit last week to renovate the 4,085-square-foot restaurant at 10081 Ortonville Road, and work can now start, said Brian Oppmann, township zoning administrator.
“It’s just a basic building permit to renovate the structure,” Oppmann said.
The M-15 location has been vacant for more than 10 years. Old Detroit Burger Bar is based in Oxford with locations in Lake Orion, Lapeer, Clawson, Troy, and Farmington. They’re looking to open later this year.
