WILLIAMSTON - A mainstay business in Williamston is slated to close its doors in about a week.

Red Cedar Grill owners Mike and Amanda Luther announced the closing Thursday on the business's Facebook page.

"After just over 25 years in business, it is time for Red Cedar Grill to say goodbye!," they wrote. "We have sold the building and our last day of business will be January 9th."

The restaurant was started at 150 E. Grand River Ave. in downtown Williamston by Craig Heath in 1996. Heath briefly operated a second location at the Lansing Mall in the mid-2000s.

The Luthers bought the restaurant about seven years ago.

An employee who answered the phone at the restaurant on Thursday said the owners are out of town this week, and it was unclear what is in store for the building.
