http://www.statenews.com Downtown East Lansing is home to constantly changing businesses and this summer is no different — three new businesses will open along Grand River Avenue before the school year begins. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 03:12:15 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/18995 It’s sad to say, but it looks like E.L.Moe’s Firehouse Grill doesn’t really know the East Lansing market. They are hanging up Meridian Township police uniforms – are they sure they know their address? East Lansing / Michigan State University memorabilia would have been a better choice. Plus, they are going against two well established businesses with their product: Pita Pit on the pita side and Jimmy Johns on the subs side. Mark your calendars now for their late spring closing — this needs to be added so the next time The State News runs a store closing story they don’t blame chains, but instead the business owners who did not understand their market place.

It seemed like they were only open a few months, usually restaurants give themselves more time to see if business will pick up.

Personally, their food was mediocre, and the prices were high. Service was OK, but not great. When there are other places with great food, at a good price within a block, it didn’t work out for them.

Can you possibly mean a doner kebab? This is made from very fatty lamb sliced and served in a pitta bread with loads of salad – it is in no way considered to be a healthy meal and, in England at least, is traditionally consumed on the way home from the pub after drinking more beer than is entirely good for you. Enjoy!
