19 Michigan Red Robin locations to donate 30% of profits to Make-A-Wish on Wednesday
It was May 10, 1993, when the Ansara Restaurant Group opened its first Red Robin location in Novi. Thirty years and 20 Red Robin franchises later, the family-owned business is celebrating by giving back.
When you dine out on Wednesday at one of the 19 Michigan and two Ohio Ansara Group-owned Red Robin locations, the restaurant group will donate 30% of all proceeds to Make-A-Wish Michigan to celebrate 30 years in business in Michigan. Donations will also be made for to-go and catering orders.
The Ansara Restaurant Group's Red Robin locations employ more than 2,000 Michigan residents. Ansara Restaurant Group was founded more than 60 years ago by brothers Andrew and George Ansara, who immigrated from Lebanon in 1951.
