Bar Louie at Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township closes: What we know
One of the last two Bar Louie locations in Michigan has shuttered. The Bar Louie location at the Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township has closed. Clinton Township is no longer on Bar Louie's list of locations, and the Partridge Creek website no longer includes Bar Louie on its restaurant listing. Attempts to reach the store by phone receive a message saying the call cannot be completed. The Clinton Township closing leaves the Royal Oak Bar Louie location at 510 S. Main St., between Fifth and Sixth streets, as the only Michigan location open. The Royal Oak restaurant, which opened in 2019, is franchise-owned. In March, Bar Louie locations in Livonia at Laurel Park Place and in Auburn Hills at Great Lakes Crossing abruptly closed. At the time of those closures, employees appeared to have been laid off with little warning, according to social media posts. The closures were among several across the U.S. at the time. Days after those closures, Bar Louie filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. According to a news release, the Addison, Texas-based chain closed underperforming locations to 'enhance its financial stability.' The Chapter 11 restructuring plan was for its 31 corporate-owned store locations. In January 2020, the chain announced it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed more than 30 underperforming locations. At that time, the chain closed its Flint pub and listed eight Michigan locations on its website. Bar Louie is known for its mix of craft burgers, salads, bar bites, appetizers and main dishes. The chain was founded in 1991 in Chicago. Billed as an original "gastrobar," Bar Louie was also known for its signature cocktails, including handcrafted martinis. According to the Bar Louie website, no two Bar Louie locations are alike. Bar Louie has locations in 19 states.

Packaged tomatoes sold in Michigan and other states recalled over salmonella concerns
An Indiana company is recalling containers of tomatoes because of potential salmonella contamination. Ray & Mascari Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana, is recalling its 4-count vine-ripened tomatoes packaged in clamshell containers because of potential salmonella contamination. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert, 20-ounce (1 pound 4-ounce) containers of tomatoes were sold to Gordon Food Service stores in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Consumers who bought these tomatoes are advised not to consume them. The tomatoes should be discarded. Ray & Mascari Inc. received the tomatoes from a farm in Immokalee, Florida, and repackaged them into the 4-count containers. The farm, Hanshaw & Capling Farms, initiated the recall because of the 'possible presence of Salmonella in their facility.' The items sold have 'Vine Ripe Tomatoes' on the label with UPC numbers of 7 96553 20062 1 and a master case label with lot numbers of RM250424 15250B or RM250427 15250B.

Sanders celebrates 150th anniversary with new limited edition caramel
It's almost hard to imagine that in 1875, nearly 150 years ago to the day, the first Sanders shop opened in downtown Detroit in the Woodward and Gratiot area. Generations of metro Detroiters grew up on Sanders ice cream sodas, cream puff hot fudge sundaes and, of course, delightful Bumpy Cake. Now Sanders is gearing up to mark its 150th milestone with a community celebration in downtown Detroit. It will take place 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on May 15 in Cadillac Square, a significant spot for the candy maker because it's not far from that first location. Sanders will be giving the community a taste of a limited-edition sweet treat: Sanders Birthday Cake White Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. It will also be serving ice cream topped with classic Sanders Hot Fudge or Caramel toppings. The company said its new caramels are made at its facility in Clinton Township and will soon be available at retailers, including Meijer stores. Sanders has grown into a national brand and is owned by snack and treat maker Second Nature Brands, based in Madison Heights. Second Nature Brands is also the parent company of Kar's Nuts, which bought Morley Candy in 2018. Morley owned Sanders at the time. At one time, there were 57 Sanders retail stores in the Great Lakes region, according to the Sanders website. Two Sanders stores still operate in metro Detroit, one in Clinton Township and the other in Rochester, where you can buy many of its confections and those of Second Nature Brands. There is also a Sanders store on Mackinac Island.
