After almost 40 years in business at their
Downtown Lansing location, Dimitri’s Restaurant closed its doors in June. The move saddened many in the Capital region. Thankfully, they were just relocating, not closing their doors for good.
The next generation of the Stathopoulos family will be re-opening Dimitri’s at a new location at 6334 West Saginaw near Creyts Road.
“My father-in-law came to America at age 14 speaking only two English words: good morning.' He went on to build a successful business and, more importantly, tremendous relationships in the community,” says Dimitri’s co-owner, Angie Stathopoulos. “My husband will be taking over the business with help from his parents. We are hoping for another successful 36-plus years of business in Lansing.”
The new Dimitri’s location will offer all of the old favorites, plus some new menu items and dessert options, like lemon French toast with cream cheese filling and mixed berry topping. They will also be transitioning from cafeteria style to a full service restaurant.
