Lansing’s Westside is about to get a triple dose of cheap chic. The folks who brought
The Tin Can to Downtown are preparing to open a second location on Saginaw and Migaldi Lane.
“The Tin Can 2,” says owner Doug Johns. “It’ll still be the same concept, but bigger.”
That means the cans of beer will still be $1.75, the drink options will include the original Tin Can’s instant classics of Faygo Bombs and pudding shots, but both the size of the venue and its offerings will expand.
The 3,000 square foot space near Menards on the
Westside is three times the size of the original. Johns has owned the building for some time, but recently invested $50,000 into renovations. The business, which will hire 10 employees, will offer more food options, as well as shuffleboard and DJ entertainment on the weekends.
“There wasn’t anything like this between Lansing and Grand Ledge,” says Johns. “There are a lot of businesses and housing, but it’s kind of a void out there as far as bars go. I think this fills that void.”
The Tin Can 2 is located at Migaldi Lane and is scheduled to open in the next couple of weeks. Updates can be found on the original Tin Can website or Facebook page.
