Dexter's Red Brick Kitchen to expand into space next door

By Sarah Rigg Special to The Dexter Leader

Dexters Red Brick Kitchen will expand into the space next door, adding seating area and tripling the kitchen space.

At the beginning of the summer, the space next door became available for us, Peter Landrum said. Once our regular customers found out the space was available, they really started pushing us.

Prior to the space becoming available, the Landrums didnt have concrete plans to expand their popular downtown restaurant, but the opportunity was too perfect.

It became something we couldnt pass up, said Peter. If we were ever going to try to expand in our current space, its something we needed to do.

Landrum said he wishes the remodeling was already underway, but the restaurant needs to take care of some paperwork before it can begin.

Right now, were waiting on permits and approval, everything like that, Landrum said. Weve given the initial drawings to the appropriate people in the (city), and soon well be going to Washtenaw County to get approvals for the work we want to be doing.

The remodeling, when completed, should expand the kitchen area as well as the seating.

The couple plans on arching out the brick walls to connect both buildings. The current kitchen space will be taken apart and converted into a bar area with additional seating.
