After 33 years of operation, Sweet Lorraine's restaurant on Greenfield in Southfield is closing on June 25.
Owner Lorraine Platman says heath issues are at the center of her decision, Tom Perkins of Metro Times reports.
“Dealing with the challenges of my health issues has made it increasingly impractical to continue operations at the pace that is required to continue to be successful," she says in a press release. “Sorry if I haven’t been able to spend enough time in the dining room recently - visiting with all of our regulars and long-time friends—but my poor, old aching back, neck, and arthritic thumbs don’t allow me to keep up the frantic pace."
Platman says in the release that she will continue to support her culinary partners and staff at the Sweet Lorraine’s Cafe & Bar in Livonia; Mac n’ Brewz locations in Midtown Detroit and Waterford; Mac n’ Cheez locations at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, the GM Renaissance Center, and Vernon Hills, Ill; and the newest Sweet Lorraine’s location to be open this summer at the On The Dunes sports facility on Haggerty Road in Commerce called Sweet Lorraine’s GameTime Grill.
