Press Release – Millennium Restaurant Group Acquring Wine Loft

This came from the Millennium Restaurant Group email newsletter….

Millennium Restaurant Group is excited to announce their pending acquisition of The Wine Loft, and is eager to receive them into their family of restaurants. The Wine Loft has serviced the Kalamazoo area for over two years with the same commitment to quality and service as all other Millennium locations. As of March 1, 2011, Millennium Restaurant Group has taken over operation and management of the restaurant, located in the Haymarket building of downtown Kalamazoo, pending final approval of the liquor license transfer by the MLCC.

“We have always admired and enjoyed watching The Wine Loft grow into the Kalamazoo community,” says CFO and Partner of Millennium Restaurant Group Shelly Pastor. “When we were given the opportunity to welcome them into our group of restaurants, we were more than thrilled.”

While Millennium Restaurant Group plans to keep the esthetic and overall feel of The Wine Loft intact, they do have plans for a few small changes in the upcoming months, including expansion of menu and seating options. The current Wine Loft staff will remain intact and will also join the Millennium family.

Venture Foods and West Michigan Wine Loft Inc., the owner of The Wine Loft, have decided to go in a different direction with their business endeavors. Through the years they have brought the Kalamazoo community such restaurants as Qdoba, Big Apple Bagel, and most recently SmashBurger.
