Canton is about to get its first taste of Voodoo. Voodoo Brewing Co. is set to open its first Michigan location in the township next Saturday, taking over the former Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ spot on Sheldon Road and bringing the brand’s mix of craft beer, cocktails, and elevated pub fare to the Ford Road corridor.
According to the Detroit Free Press, franchisees Jason Turner and Carla Perez-Turner are leading the Canton outpost and have been planning the project for nearly two years. The report notes that the Canton spot will pour the chain’s signature beers alongside cocktails and an “elevated” pub menu aimed at both families and after-work crowds.
Location and approvals
Canton Township records show a site-plan review for Voodoo Brewing at 5800 N. Sheldon Road, and meeting minutes list “VOODOO BREWING – Consider Site Plan and Temporary Outdoor Dining” for the parcel. The township packet confirms the address and notes that the applicant sought temporary outdoor dining as part of the buildout, according to Canton Township.
What Voodoo brings
Voodoo Brewing Co. has expanded rapidly through franchising in recent years, with outlets across multiple states. The brand’s locations page shows a broad footprint and industry coverage, which has tracked the chain’s aggressive growth. See Voodoo Brewing Co. and 1851 Franchise for more on the expansion.
Why Canton
The 5800 Sheldon site sits on a busy stretch of Ford Road that has seen several new restaurant and retail proposals in the past year, and the property owner filed for a temporary outdoor dining permit during the buildout process. Local reporting and community notices indicate owner Jason Turner submitted the permit application, a sign that the project has moved from planning into pre‑opening work, per SocialHouseNews and township records.
Voodoo Brewing's Canton pub is scheduled to open next Saturday. Fans can watch for final hours, menu listings, and any grand-opening events from the operators as the date approaches. This story will be updated when the company posts official hours and weekend plans.
