Fans of Gibson’s Books and Beans in
Downtown Lansing have even more to enjoy now that the bookstore has expanded into an adjacent 1,500 square foot space to open
Gibby’s Grinders.
“When they closed the cafeteria down at the school, which generated a lot ore people come over looking for places to eat,” says Dave Poquette, manager Gibson’s.” We did some brainstorming and thought a sub shop would be the best solution.”
The location had been vacant for several years before Gibson’s began developing the idea of Gibby’s earlier this year. The new sub shop opened last week, offering both hot and cold sandwiches.
“So far, so good,” says Poquette. “We’re just getting it going.”
Gibby’s currently employs about four new workers, and Poquette plans to add additional varieties of grinders and soup to the menu soon.
