LANSING — Bobcat Bonnie’s will open its first Lansing-area location Thursday in the historic former Clara’s Lansing Station.
The opening was announced Wednesday on the restaurant’s Facebook page.
“This weekend we are open Thursday (4-10 p.m.), Friday (4 p.m.-11 p.m.) and Saturday (4 p.m.-11 p.m.). Sunday we will be taking a break, and then post normal hours shortly after!,” the post said. “Reservation system is being set up and will be available here shortly! Brunch is coming in the next few weeks, as is our lunch menu! So just hang with us for a bit as we finish training and getting ready to roll those two menus out!”
The restaurant, which now occupies half of the 637 E. Michigan Ave. building, a 120-year-old former train station with a Pullman car next door, opened earlier this week for a few days for staff training. The space was previously home to Clara’s for more than three decades until it closed in 2016.
The Gillespie Group bought the property and invested $3.6 million in its redevelopment. Starbucks opened in its western half in 2022.
