The first Chicken Shack franchise in the city of Detroit is the latest tenant at Mack-Alter Square on the East Side, and a Cottage Inn pizza restaurant is planned to open up within a few months.
In just the few months it’s been open, the shopping center is 90 percent occupied, says Michael Curis, who co-developed the shopping center with Mark Thomas. “It typically takes from one to three years for full lease up, and we’re talking to tenants for the rest of the space, so we’re really happy,” Curis says.
The
Chicken Shack opened May 23, and has an outdoor, landscaped patio dining area. Curis says the shopping center is also home to the only President Tuxedo in the city, and the second Aldi grocery store in the city.
“We’re just really proud of it,” Curis says of Mack-Alter.
