Anna's House has set a new opening date for its Grand Blanc restaurant: Monday, Nov. 16, 2026. The breakfast, brunch and lunch chain had originally planned to open the location on Oct. 26, but pushed the date back due to electrical infrastructure issues and work needed to secure additional power to the building.
The new restaurant, located at 11432 S. Saginaw St. at the former Big Boy site in downtown Grand Blanc, will mark Anna's House's 14th location in Michigan, according to banana1015.com. Anna's House purchased the former Big Boy property from owner Victor Khzouz in April, as reported by MLive.
Company leadership has pointed to steady momentum on the site even as the timeline slipped. Anna's House CEO Josh Beckett said the company was thrilled to see construction moving forward and grateful for the reception from the community. “We are thrilled to see construction moving forward and to bring Anna's House to the Grand Blanc community,” Beckett said. “The support and excitement we've received from local residents has been incredible,” he added, in comments reported by flintside.com.
What Construction Has Looked Like at the Site
Flintside's report described demolition and site preparation underway at the future restaurant, with crews working to transform the former Big Boy building. The outlet noted that residents could expect to see more visible progress in the coming weeks, including new windows, exterior improvements and other construction activity.
Beckett also said in comments to MLive that Anna's House was excited to near opening and grateful for the community's support. The company apologized for the delay and thanked the community for its patience, saying it would share updates once it had a confirmed opening timeline, per MLive's reporting.
What's On the Menu
Anna's House specializes in breakfast, brunch and lunch, and the Grand Blanc location is expected to serve those meals all day, according to MLive. The menu is also expected to include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other allergy-friendly options, along with cocktails.
Separately, the author of the banana1015.com report wrote that, from what they understand, alcoholic beverages will be an option at the new location. Anna's House has operated for more than 20 years and currently has 13 locations across Michigan, including in Grand Rapids, Grandville, Byron Center, Holland and Grand Haven. The company describes its mission as “saving the world from an ordinary breakfast.”
Anna's House has said it will provide progress updates through its Grand Blanc Facebook page, its Instagram account and its website as the Nov. 16 opening approaches.
