Slows To Go is offering to deliver their bulk family meal packs to local neighborhoods in metro Detroit and Grand Rapids. The eatery’s Family Meal Pack feeds 4 to 6 people but there’s one catch - neighbors need to collaborate on the delivery. The person or group that “hosts” will receive one family pack free of charge or a commensurate dollar amount loaded on a Slows gift card. If you represent a homeowner’s association that might be interested, contact Slows at manager@slowstogo.com or events@slowsgr.com. The same offer stands for a business that would allow Slows to use their parking lot in off hours.

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. Several restaurant owners are upset in Canton Township because of food trucks. It started with Slows Bar BQ being allowed to operate a food truck in Cherry Hill Village. From the township perspective, theyd like to bring cool attractions, like Slows. Roses Restaurant has been in Canton for 26 years and is among a group of restaurateurs who penned a letter to the township complaining about the food truck. Originally, the township board voted to pull the permit for the food truck to operate.
