FERNDALE, Mich. – People will be able to get the popular Grey Ghost burger at a new fast-casual dining spot opening in Metro Detroit this summer.
Four Man Ladder Hospitality, the team behind Grey Ghost, Second Best and Basan, announced that its first fast-casual restaurant will open in Ferndale sometime in the summer of 2025.
The restaurant, which has yet to be named, comes after the group recently acquired a nearly 1,000-square-foot building at 22305 Woodward Avenue, according to a release.
It will cater to takeout customers and focus on a small menu that spotlights the team’s burger, chicken sandwich and sides.
“Over the past nine years, our beloved Grey Ghost burger has developed a loyal following,” says chef and co-owner John Vermiglio. “Its simple preparation and exceptional ingredients resonate with our guests, and we’re excited to translate that same spirit into a quick-service format. Alongside this fan favorite, we’ll introduce fresh new menu items, all crafted with the same commitment to quality.”
The team says they envision this as their first location, with more to follow.
The restaurant is set to operate daily and offer local delivery and catering services.
Construction will begin this month.
More details about the menu, the restaurant name and the grand opening date will be shared at a later time.
Four Man Ladder is led by chefs Joe Giacomino and John Vermiglio, beverage director Will Lee and director of operations Michael Gray.
