Is the Big Boy in Grand Blanc Closing?

Is the Grand Blanc Big Boy Really Closing?

Rumors are floating around online that the restaurant could be closing soon. That would be a real bummer for customers who’ve been going there for decades.

Over the past couple of days, several posts in local Facebook groups have claimed that the Grand Blanc Big Boy has been sold and may shut down at the end of March or possibly even sooner.

Whether this ends up being good or bad for the owner, people around here still appreciate the many years this place has been part of the community.

Where Did The Rumor Start?

At this point, it appears the information is coming mostly from social media posts. We haven’t seen any official announcement from Big Boy or confirmation from the company that operates the restaurant.

I did reach out to someone I know who has a friend that works at the restaurant, and they told me the rumor is true. That said, nothing has been officially announced yet.
