Airport leaders and representatives from Delaware North recently gathered to celebrate two new openings at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)’s McNamara Terminal: Born in Detroit Kitchen + Bar, an all-day eatery celebrating Motor City flavors, and The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company, a cafe serving locally brewed coffee and light bites.
“These newest openings are a celebration of Detroit’s vibrant food and beverage scene,” said Robert Thormeier, COO for Delaware North Travel. “We’re thrilled to partner with local icons to bring a taste of the city to DTW and create a memorable experience for travelers.”
“The openings of Born in Detroit Kitchen + Bar and The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company represent our continued commitment to enhancing the customer experience at Detroit Metro Airport by celebrating the city through locally rooted brands,” added Chad Newton, CEO of Wayne County Airport Authority. “We’re proud to offer travelers from around the world an authentic taste of Detroit and a connection to our region.”
“We are incredibly excited about Born in Detroit Kitchen + Bar opening,” said Anthony Tomey, co-owner of Born In Detroit. “The new restaurant gives us the opportunity to share the flavors of Detroit, showcase our apparel line and our award-winning vodka, all while embracing the pride of Detroit. This expansion is a testament to our brand’s growth and our unwavering commitment to celebrating and promoting Detroit’s unique culture.”
“The Great Lakes Coffee brand was inspired by our Eastside Detroit roots and launched from our garage 31 years ago,” said Greg Miracle, president and founder of The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company. “This high-visibility cafe therefore represents an exciting milestone in our mission to expand locally roasted specialty coffee and locally brewed cold brew coffee across the Great Lakes region. We are honored to bring this hand-crafted local coffee experience to DTW, and we are deeply grateful to the Wayne County Airport Authority and Delaware North for this opportunity!”
