Jersey Mike's Takes Over Former Mr. Corned Beef in Lansing

Lansing is about to get another eatery opening soon.

Lansing is no stranger to seeing restaurants open and close. It's always sad to see a business go, especially when patrons loved the business. That's what happened to Mr. Corned. Beef in Frandor.

Mr. Corned Beed, Like many restaurants, struggled during and after Covid. In August of 2022, Mr. Corned Beef closed abruptly. There was no announcement, just some signs taped to the door and their Facebook listing them as 'permanently closed'.

Mr. Corned Beef did reopen shortly after in October 2022, however, closed shortly again there after.

While there's a currently a sign in the window that indicates the Jersey Mike's is coming soon, there's no word on exactly when at this time. Even looking at the 'coming soon' portion of their website, it doesn't have the upcoming Frandor Lansing location listed.
