Chicago-based Big Mini Putt Club is working on a site in downtown Grand Rapids at 70 Ionia Ave SW near Oakes Street. The downtown location will be the brand’s third location nationwide and is anticipated to open in the summer of 2024. The 8,000-square-foot space will have a spacious bar and room for more than 250 people, according to the company’s press release.
“Big Mini is the perfect spot for date night, hanging out with friends and family, meeting new people at weeknight tournaments and entertainment for everyone. We think it’ll be a great new addition to downtown and draw people in from across West Michigan,” Nick Jenkins, co-founder, said in the release.
Jenkins founded Big Mini Putt Club with business partner and college friend Austin DeLonge and opened the first location in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood at the old Silver Room space. Each location features a 9-hole indoor mini golf course, a full bar, and good times.
Construction of the Grand Rapids Big Mini Putt Club is led by local firm Rockford Construction. “The community in Grand Rapids continues to seek active, engaging spaces in our downtown – we are thrilled to have a part in welcoming Big Mini into the Grand Rapids community. We know Big Mini will continue to enhance the vibrant atmosphere that people enjoy downtown,” Elise Bassi Igoe, commercial leasing advisor at Rockford Construction, said in the release.
