WAYLAND, MICHIGAN – A once-iconic Michigan fast-food brand has returned in dramatic fashion, as a new Hot ’n Now restaurant was built in just one day this week.
Pop-Up Construction in West Michigan
Crews assembled the 737-square-foot, drive-thru-only restaurant at 1146 129th Avenue in Wayland, about 24 miles south of Grand Rapids. The building was pre-fabricated in Alpena, transported to Wayland, and pieced together on-site using a “plug-and-play” construction method.
The Wayland location, situated behind Noonday Market and across from Gun Lake Casino, is expected to open this fall. Hours will run 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Bringing Back a Nostalgic Brand
Monica King, CEO of Gun Lake Investments (GLI), called the project an exciting milestone in the company’s revival of Hot ’n Now.
“Today, we are one step closer to bringing the nostalgic Hot ’n Now brand back with new refreshed elements. It’s very exciting to witness the assembly process and watch that iconic logo and red rooftop cap it all off!”…
