Downtown Lansing Inc. is proud to recognize Finger Lickin’ Chicken & Fish and University Weiner as our July Businesses of the Month.

The newest additions to Lansing Shuffle, these locally owned restaurants are bringing fresh energy to downtown while building on the success they’ve already established in the Greater Lansing community. Their expansion into Lansing Shuffle reflects the continued demand for local businesses that offer not only great food but also memorable experiences.

Owned and operated by father-and-son duo Alfonzo Bradley and Cedric Bradley, Finger Lickin’ Chicken & Fish has become a local favorite for its soul food, serving up crispy fried chicken, fresh fish, and comforting homestyle sides. Their commitment to quality food and warm hospitality has earned them a loyal following.

University Weiner quickly made a name for itself as a go-to destination for late-night eats near Michigan State University. Founded by MSU alumni Ben Pikus and Louis Azor, the business opened its original East Lansing location in 2023 before expanding into Downtown Lansing. Known for its signature hot dogs, coneys, and hand-cut fries, University Weiner has become a favorite among students, alumni, and the broader Lansing community.

Together, these entrepreneurs embody the innovation and investment helping shape Downtown Lansing’s future. By choosing Lansing Shuffle for their newest ventures, they’ve expanded dining options, created new opportunities for residents and visitors to support local businesses, and strengthened one of downtown’s premier gathering spaces.

Downtown Lansing Inc. congratulates Finger Lickin’ Chicken & Fish and University Weiner on being named our July Businesses of the Month. We invite everyone to stop by Lansing Shuffle, meet the teams behind these outstanding eateries!
