METRO CRUISE ANNOUNCES PIT STOP SITES
Hi friends, we have a major announcement, and as our social media follower, you are hearing it here first!
Our committee is proud to announce a brand-new feature of Metro Cruise, the launch of our new PIT STOP sites. There are now more ways than ever to enjoy your favorite auto event. Based on your feedback and requests a desire to reach more people, these sites will be much smaller than our Main Event sites (Rogers Plaza Mall and Woodland Mall), will be more specialized, have unique features, and offer easier access.
Each PIT STOP site will host a minimum of 4 key pieces – collector car club(s), food vendor(s), Metro-Merch (official Metro Cruise merchandise), and a unique auto-related entertainment feature. Each site will be completely unique in it’s offerings. They will all be open to the public with space for free parking. If you have a collector car and are cruisin’ 28th Street, the sites will also have a reserved (temporary) collector car parking area.
This year we are launching 3 PIT STOPS, with hopefully more being added for the 2024 Metro Cruise. This year's 3 sites will be:
* Metro Cruise PIT STOP at Cascade Retail Center (28th & Cascade Rd in the Fōwling Warehouse Grand Rapids parking lot)
* Metro Cruise PIT STOP at Betten Baker Grand Rapids (28th & Dixie Ave in Grandville)
* Metro Cruise PIT STOP at Oakestown-Borgman (28th & Ivanrest; parking lots of Borgman Ford Mazda and Adesanya Mead & Microbrewery at the Oakestown Mall)
