The stir-fry restaurant closed because of "economic factors," a company spokesperson says.
Flat Top Grill, the build-your-own-stir-fry restaurant that opened 16 months ago at the Village of Rochester Hills, closed its doors this week. The Rochester Hills location was one of two Flat Tops in Michigan; the other location, in Ann Arbor, is still open, according to the company's website. "Unfortunately, we had to close our restaurant in Rochester Hills. It was a difficult decision due to economic factors," said Jillian Beard, Flat Top marketing director, in an email message to Patch. The restaurant opened September 2011 in the two spaces at the outdoor shopping center formerly occupied by Baja Fresh and California Closets. Flat Top served lunch and dinner; a full bar was located inside the restaurant. This is the second restaurant …

Tell Moosejaw what you've resolved to do in 2013; yours could be painted for all the Village to see.
What's your new year's resolution? Is it to eat kale every day? Invent a thing that people want to buy? Ride in a real kangaroo pouch? Those were some of the most grandiose resolutions employees at the Rochester Hills Moosejaw could come up with, and now they want to hear about yours. In honor of the resolutions we all make in January and break by February, Moosejaw is inviting the town to stop by their shop and submit their own big resolution. Every day through the end of the month they'll paint a new one on the window of a nearby empty storefront at the Village of Rochester Hills. "We are looking for resolutions that are realistic but maybe snarky, too," said Eli Greening, retail marketing specialist at the Rochester Hills shop. The …

Here's what's happening at the outdoor shopping and dining center.
Maggie Moo's, the ice cream shop known for its bright blue Cotton Candy ice cream, among other frozen concoctions, closed its doors Dec. 31 in Rochester Hills. While the Village of Rochester Hills searches for another tenant to fill its spot, there is more news of the frozen treat variety to report. Yummie Yogurt, a soft-serve yogurt shop, will open in the outdoor shopping plaza in May. "Soft-serve yogurt shops are the trend right now," said Shelleen McHale, marketing director of the Village. It will open next to Starbucks, across from the gazebo where Santa recently visited. Yummie Yogurt is a family-owned shop based in Farmington Hills. A Plymouth location is also planned this year. It features an ever-changing menu of flavors and …

You've likely already sensed the telltale Aveda aromas coming from the new Douglas J Salon.
Inside the newest business to open at the Village of Rochester Hills, a sensory journey awaits.
