Lucky's Pub & Grill plans to hire 150 on East Side

Lucky's Pub & Grille doesn't just represent a new place to get something to eat on the East side. It is the new home to 150 full- and part-time jobs.

The new 12,000-square-foot location on Jefferson Avenue near Rivertown will be able to house up to 500 customers at a time. To service that sort of action, it will need 30-40 servers, eight bartenders, 6-7 cooks and other assorted support staff. The restaurant promises to be open between 9 a.m. and 2 a.m.

"You only have seven hours that this place isn’t open each day," says Wally Mona, owner of Lucky's Pub & Grille.

This is the second Lucky's Pub & Grille to open in the city. The first is at Grand River Avenue and Telegraph Road on Detroit's Northwest side. The new restaurant chain plans to open seven total locations in Metro Detroit.
