Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken is bringing a Midwestern touch with the opening of its newest location in Macomb County. The Clinton Township site, located at 41501 Garfield Road, will welcome customers tomorrow. The grand opening will feature special perks for the first 100 guests, offering a preview of the chain's renowned quality and hospitality, footnoted by ClickOnDetroit.
The location, formerly occupied by a KFC, marks a significant expansion for Lee's in Southeast Michigan and is situated between 18 Mile and Canal roads. The restaurant offers bone-in chicken, chicken strips, and aims to strengthen its presence in the Detroit market with a "new exterior design and packaging," as reported by Macomb Daily. Tomorrow’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by the Macomb County Chamber of Commerce, will take place at 9:30 a.m. The event provides an opportunity for attendees to join early in the day.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be followed by complimentary meals of the restaurant's signature two-piece breast strip dish, offering the community a chance to try the menu and marking an early step in Lee's integration into the local area. "Our reputation is founded on our delicious menu, featuring our chicken and strips, along with our refreshing iced tea, as well as our dedication to connecting with the local community," franchise owner Noman Aiyash voiced optimism, as captured by Franchising.com.
Lee's, with a history that dates back to 1966 when it was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders' nephew, brings its tradition to the Michigan community while incorporating modern elements. The restaurant offers a range of services including dine-in, drive-through, catering, third-party delivery, and mobile ordering, aimed at providing a fast and convenient dining experience. According to Lee's officials, the restaurant emphasizes quality control in its cooking methods, preparing chicken to order so it is both fresh and timely, as reported by the Macomb Daily.
The restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a menu accessible through the Lee's app or on the LeesFamousRecipe.com website. Regular updates on their social media profiles will offer additional information about the brand's offerings and culture.
