Lansing Holds the Last Smokey Bones — Future Uncertain

Michigan’s Smokey Bones Shrinks to OneTwin Hospitality Group Inc., the parent of Smokey Bones, closed its Utica and Grand Rapids restaurants this week, leaving the Lansing location as Michigan’s last. Story at a Glance Before the closures, Michigan had three Smokey Bones: Lansing, Utica, and Grand Rapids. The future of the Lansing restaurant is uncertain — it could stay a Smokey Bones, be converted to a Twin Peaks, or eventually close. Twin Peaks locations consistently bring in more than double the revenue of Smokey Bones, making them a smarter business choice. The closures and rebranding efforts will ultimately leave just 26 Smokey Bones across the U.S.
