DETROIT, MI –DETROIT, MI – A Kid Rock-owned restaurant in Detroit's Little Caesars Arena will close once its licensing agreement expires this spring, the singer and arena operator announced separately Wednesday.
The split also points to a widening estrangement between Kid Rock and the city he calls home.
Kid Rock's Made in Detroit opened in 2017 in Little Caesars Arena, which is home to the NHL's Red Wings and the NBA's Detroit Pistons.
The Ilitch statement said its “venues are open, inviting, inclusive and respectful to all.”A spokesman for Kid Rock didn't immediately reply to a message seeking comment.
Born Robert Ritchie, Kid Rock grew up in Macomb County, which is just north of Detroit.
