Originally, they had hoped to open at the end of January. However, it looks like the new opening date will be Monday, February 16. Plus, the first 100 customers in line will receive a free burrito!

You can find it in the former Big John's Steak & Onion near Frandor.

Bubbakoo's Burritos isn't the only eatery coming to the Frandor area, because that's also where Shake Shack is setting up shop.

Shake Shack is one of a total of six businesses that is taking over the space where the former Rite Aid used to be, along with Smoothie King and Wing Stop.

Shake Shack isn't far behind the opening of Bubbakoo's... Shake Shack plans on opening on Wednesday, February 18. This will be the first Shake Shack in the Mid-Michigan area and the 10th one in the state.
