Savvy Sliders Permanently Closes in East Lansing

I have some more sad restaurant news to share, as I've learned that we lost another restaurant in Greater Lansing.

This time, the loss is in Downtown East Lansing. Savvy Sliders is permanently closed.

Savvy Sliders Closed in East Lansing in June 2026

Savvy Sliders, which closed in June 2026, was located at 235 Albert Avenue. Now, the space sits empty.

The adjacent space also sits empty. That spot was supposed to become a Fat Boy's Pizza. Savvy Sliders owns the brand of Fat Boy's Pizza and had plans in the works to open it in the neighboring space. Unfortunately, those plans never came to fruition.

Savvy Sliders opened its East Lansing location in September of 2025, so it was only open for nine months before the doors closed.

If you're missing the taste of Savvy Sliders in the meantime, there's a location at 3464 Okemos Road in Okemos.

More Greater Lansing Restaurants Have Closed in 2026

Savvy Sliders isn't the only restaurant to close in the Greater Lansing area, recently. Cinnamon Lane Bakery in Old Town Lansing closed in September after being open seven months. Downtown Lansing's La Cocina Cuabana announced its temporary closure in October. And the restaurant portion of REO Town Clubhouse closed in September.

Will we see any new businesses come to these empty spots in Downtown East Lansing? Only time will tell. In the meantime, East Lansing is also waiting for places like Coratti’s Pizzeria Bar and Bocce to open. We'll keep our eyes peeled for when they do.
