HopCat Will Open a New Royal Oak Location This Winter | Eater Detroit

"After closing its Fifth Avenue location in May 2020 following a landlord dispute, this Michigan-based brewpub operated by Project BarFly is returning to Royal Oak with a new space at 430 S. Main St. (occupying the former Noodles & Company, GameStop and BD’s Mongolian Grill storefronts). The operator plans to hire about 150 employees for front- and back-of-house roles — including line cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers, barbacks, hosts, food runners, servers and bartenders — with training beginning in late November; applications are being accepted at barflyjobs.com, in person at the Detroit location (4265 Woodward Ave.) or by texting BarFly to 85000. An exact opening date has not been announced, but the group hopes to open sometime this winter and emphasizes providing a supportive work environment focused on growth and long-term careers." - Serena Maria Daniels
