GRAND RAPIDS, MI — A Grand Rapids barbecue restaurant is closing its doors after less than five months in business.

Kelvin & Co. Urban BBQ and Catering, 1450 Wealthy St. SE, announced on Facebook that “with heavy hearts and much frustration” it’s ceasing operations “due to certain circumstances out of our control and responsibilities with the structural issues at our leased space.”

“We thank Eastown and all of Grand Rapids for your support of our local business,” the Facebook post said.

Kelvin & Co. opened the restaurant on March 29.

Owner Mark Nieuwenhuis declined to elaborate on the structural issues. He said the closure was not the result of low sales.

“We felt we were a good part of the neighborhood and had a consistent customer base, especially from the Eastown area,” he said.

On Saturday, the restaurant posted a message on its Facebook page indicating that it had been closed the “last few days” because of a “persistent roof leak.”

“We are working very hard to make sure the issue is fixed via the responsible party,” the Facebook post said. “We will keep you updated every step of the way. Thank you for your patience.”

Nieuwenhuis said he might one day consider opening another location in Grand Rapids once the structural issues with the Wealthy Street property is resolved.

Kelvin & Co. also has a location at 5167 West Main St. in Kalamazoo.
