Business closing

Bar-B-Cutie leaves 27 out of work

A barbecue restaurant in Union Township has closed its doors after just two years in business. Bar-B-Cutie, 4520 Collegiate Way, shut its doors on Nov. 16. The restaurant employed 27 people and was owned by Dr. Keith and Teddie Sikora of Mount Pleasant. Employees at the restaurant, the first franchise location in Michigan, reported slow business and personal issues between the owners. The restaurant did not serve alcohol, and had not applied for a liquor license, said William Woodruff, Union Township zoning administrator. Future plans for the site are undetermined.
