Hello, ladies, gentlemen, boys, and girls! My name is William Drake, and I am the founder and owner of Detroit's Original Coney Island. I would like to take this time to personally thank you for visiting this website and to introduce myself to you, THE CUSTOMER. I am extremely humble and grateful to have this wonderful opportunity to bring a piece of the Motor City to the River City. Stewardship, professionalism, and customer service is what we pride ourselves on here at Detroit's Original Coney Island, and we will not compromise on lesser standards. Prior to organizing this company, I had spent the last 3 years conducting extensive market research, interpreting analytical data, and speaking with local consumers on what was missing in the food service industry in the greater Grand Rapids community. At the conclusion of my research, the idea of this company was born. Yes, we are a mobile food service business, but I wanted to have a more stationary presence, so our customers can find us on a consistent basis. We are available for private catering requests. Please stop by our 28th Street location and say, hello. Yes, I was a police officer, but I promise I won't bite. SMILE!!!
