DEARBORN — Car-themed chain Ford’s Garage is on track to debut at 21367 Michigan Ave. in Dearborn by the end of the month.

UNIVERSITY DISTRICT — Long-awaited restaurant start-up Social Sushi’s new 2,600-square-foot space on Livernois Avenue is expected to seat around 60 patrons.

The restaurant is expected to open in September. [Crain’s]
