Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) – A popular downtown Grand Haven food spot will not be reopening as the busy summer season approaches.
The Lucky Bucket, a fried fish restaurant located on the first block of Washington Avenue, has announced it will remain closed for the 2026 season, despite a strong and successful first year in business.
Owners say they were pleased with the community support they received last summer, but have decided to step back for now. They plan to keep ownership of the building and instead lease the space, giving another business the opportunity to move in.
The announcement comes at a challenging time, just as foot traffic is expected to increase heading into the summer months.
Fox 17 reports that local business leader Kelly Larson says while the timing is not ideal, there is confidence the space will be filled quickly. Efforts are already underway to attract a new tenant, with hopes of having something in place by the peak of the season.
There is still a possibility the Lucky Bucket could return in the future, but for now, the focus shifts to what will take its place in one of downtown’s busiest locations.
