Downtown Wayne’s Restaurant Week

By Sarah Shurge – The third annual Downtown Wayne Restaurant Week happened at the end of last month from Saturday, March 22nd – Sunday, March 30th.
“Wayne Restaurant Week is more than just a celebration of great food, it’s about community, connection, and local Wayne pride,” said Lisa Kubany, Wayne Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Marketing and Events Director.
“We encouraged the community to dine at any of our 23 participating local restaurants,” said Kubany. “To make it even more exciting, visitors could scan QR codes at each restaurant to enter to win multiple prizes.”
Guests simply had to save their receipts, take a photo, and submit them daily with each purchase. There would be three winners, each winning a $100 gift bag to dine in Wayne.
The DDA three winners were: Rachel Botu of Romulus (who dined at Tropical Smoothie), Gisele Holman of Wayne (who dined at My Place), and Wuneetha Banks of Wayne (who dined at The Red Apple).
“Small businesses are the heartbeat of Wayne, and when we support them, we’re investing in our city’s future,” said Kubany. “This event drives traffic to local businesses, encourages residents to explore new places, and promotes a sense of togetherness.”
Fox 2 News covered Restaurant Week by stopping by some restaurants in Wayne and interviewing the Mayor and some restaurant owners. You can find the video by using the qr code or visiting fox2detroit.com.
If you missed restaurant week, we still encourage you to dine in Wayne and visit any of the businesses that participated. Support local. Support Wayne!
