Asian Deli Chain Opens Newest Location in Woodward

Asian Corned Beef has opened its newest location of the Asian/deli fast food chain at 19102 Woodward Avenue. The restaurant had originally eyed another location just west of Woodward at 8 Mile, but residents rallied against the necessary neighborhood variance. This is the seventh location for the corned-beef eggroll serving local chain and takes the place of a long-vacant building that was once a McDonald’s. ACB’s regional manager Javon Martin told Deadline Detroit that while it sat derelict, people had been using the entire building as a restroom, and pooping in it. Martin reiterated the company’s dedication to keeping this location, and its surrounding parking lot tidy.
