Street Beet plans for Birmingham

Meghan Shaw, founder of popular Detroit vegan eatery Street Beet, has announced plans to expand to Birmingham with a walk-up location at 233 N. Old Woodward Avenue. A press release states the concept will operate out of the rear of a new bodega-style market with alley access and a quick-service setup for lunch, snacks and late-night bites. Shaw described the expansion as a “no-brainer,” calling it “the perfect next step in the Street Beet world takeover.” The Birmingham location will offer carry-out service, grab-and-go items, plant-based lattes and soft serve, and exclusive menu items alongside fan favorites like their signature fried “chicken” sandwich. However, Nicholas Dupuis, Birmingham Planning Director, noted that the bodega project has not yet come to the city for permits or occupancy requests related to the bodega, raising questions about where the concept stands in the city’s approval process. “Street Beet Coming Soon” signage is currently posted in the windows, signaling momentum toward opening despite the lack of formal filings. 233 N Old Woodward Avenue, Birmingham
