OKEMOS - Meridian Township has just helped Henry Kwok celebrate the opening of his new business - Henry's Place.

Henry's Place is a pub located in the Okemos business district, directly adjacent to parent business Asian Buffet.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Thursday, September 1 at 4:00pm.

Representatives from Meridian Township and Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce were on site to celebrate the opening and welcome his business to the area. WITL was also there raffling off gift certificates to the establishment.

"Its been a year in the making and I'm really relieved that I can start business and start serving good food and beer to a lot of members of this community," said Kwok.

Kwok thanked his wife and the community during the ceremony. While from Okemos, he had been working out of state before meeting her during a trip back home. It was his relationship with her that spurned the creation of the pub.
