Cottage Inn Introduces New Taverna-Style Concept

August 21, 2017

First Cottage Inn Taverna to Open in New Hudson Late Summer/Early Fall

Cottage Inn’s fans are crazy about our gourmet pizza – and now, they’ll have even more ways to enjoy the brand. We’re excited to announce that we will open the first Cottage Inn Taverna in late summer/early fall 2017. Offering beer, wine and a selection of cocktails alongside our famous pizza, the cozy tavern-themed pizzeria concept is coming to the New Hudson neighborhood (right off of the Interstate 96 interchange between Lansing and Detroit), on Milford Rd.

The newest concept to hit the marketplace for our brand, Cottage Inn Taverna is a welcoming, family-oriented pizzeria featuring a warm and relaxed environment where guests can enjoy a cold craft beer, a fine glass of wine or one of our featured cocktails, all while experiencing the fabulous array of pizzas that Cottage Inn has offered throughout the years.

New Hudson’s Cottage Inn Taverna will be a franchise location, run by owners Sam Falk and Sean Whalen. The concept is a unique take on the quaint pizza taverns in Greece where founder Nick Michos was born and inspired the original Cottage Inn concept.

“This is an exciting new addition for the brand, and we can’t wait for our fans in New Hudson and from surrounding Lyon Township to come in, have a cold beer and enjoy our delicious pizza in an up-beat environment,” said Deborah Masse, Senior Vice President at Cottage Inn Pizza. “We’re looking forward to sharing Cottage Inn’s delicious pizza with unique local brews and traditional cocktails!”

The new Cottage Inn Taverna will offer limited seating indoors and out, along with a tasty array of items found on Cottage Inn’s carry-out and delivery menus, plus a few added items that are best served in-house, right out of the oven. The restaurant will also offer a children’s menu to keep the whole family satisfied while adults enjoy a craft beer with their gourmet pizza.

Included in the Cottage Inn Taverna environment will be flat screen televisions for guests to enjoy sporting events and other entertainment.

As the brand expands with the new Taverna concept and its original prototype, it is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified individuals who are looking to join the Cottage Inn family, which has become synonymous with community involvement. Cottage Inn Pizza locations are an integral part of the neighborhoods they serve. Local franchisees treasure the opportunity to team up with community charities that are part of Cottage Inn’s comprehensive local giveback program, further endearing the brand to its loyal customers.

In addition to the brand’s appeal to consumers, franchisees benefit from the world-class training program and ongoing support Cottage Inn provides to keep each store running successfully and smoothly.
