The Green Well, a neighborhood favorite in Grand Rapids for nearly 20 years, is closing its doors for good on August 16. This spot wasn’t just a place to eat—it was a community gathering place that helped shape the city’s dining scene. While it’s tough to lose such a staple, there’s a silver lining: the parent company, now rebranding as Essence Hospitality Group, plans to expand other local favorites like Bistro Bella Vita, Grove, and Lucy’s Café. They’re also working to keep Green Well’s staff employed at these spots. How do you feel about the changes in our local food scene? #Food #GrandRapids #LocalEats
