MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - New businesses are popping up all over the Township.

One of the businesses that will be opening soon is Osake Sushi and Hibachi Buffet. It is located where the former Old Country Buffet was located, next to Playmakers on Grand River.

It is a 25,000 square feet building that will feature upscale dining. Food will be cooked to order on a Hibachi Grill right in front of the customer.

Other businesses that will soon be calling Meridian Township home are Hampton Jewelry, Eye Level Learning Center and the Zahar Institute.

Peter Menser, Associate Planner, had this to say about the many different businesses coming to the Township, "We will see occupancy in the Township go up, we want to see all of the building get filled. Its a sign of a healthy economy."

Many of the new businesses will be opening their doors to residents in the up coming months.
