The Hinman Company Along With Its Development Partners Announce The Addition Of Social Misfits To Iconic 10 Ionia Building In Downtown Grand Rapids
June 10, 2021 
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The Hinman Company, Dakota Legacy Group, and Tharaldson Hospitality Management are pleased to announce that Social Misfits, a new Waffles, Cocktails, and Coffee concept, will open in Downtown Grand Rapids at 43 Fulton Street West, as part of the Residence Inn by Marriott Grand Rapids Downtown. The Grand Rapids location will be the first for the new concept created by Spencer Raymond.
“We were searching for a unique coffee/cocktails concept that would allow the ground floor space to be activated from morning to evening, and Social Misifts accomplishes that goal perfectly”, said Roger Hinman, CEO of The Hinman Company. “Social Misfits presence in Downtown Grand Rapids will enhance and complement the strong food and handcrafted beverage scene in the City and will be a great foodie destination for all residents and visitors to the area.”
The 2,728-square-foot Social Misfits will be located at street level, with outdoor seating near the intersection of Fulton St and Louis St, and will offer a unique dining experience featuring savory and sweet scratch-made waffles, locally sourced Michigan maple syrups, craft cocktails, and hand-crafted coffee from The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company. The menu will also be available as a room service option for guests staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott, as well as for catering events.
“We are thrilled to be bringing this new concept to Downtown Grand Rapids and look forward to opening this fall”, said Spencer Raymond, Owner and Founder of Social Misfits. Raymond created the concept with an “anytime refuge and safe space to anyone who may have ever felt a little out of step with the world” top of mind. While the eclectic menu will be the primary focus of this new concept, they’ll also feature unique merchandise, a full events schedule, and rotating menu items to ensure there’s always something new to see, taste, or experience. “We couldn’t imagine a better city or high profile building to serve as the first location for Social Misfits than the Residence Inn, being steps away from the City’s premier entertainment venues.”
