A Denny’s restaurant in Belleville is again open after shutting down last month.

The restaurant closed in May, with the only notice a printed flyer at the entrance stating, “Temporarily closed. See you soon! – Denny’s Management.”

An on-duty manager confirmed that Friday is the restaurant’s first day open again. However, she was not able to comment on the reason for the closing or provide other details.

The BND’s request for more information was passed on to Denny’s media relations.

At the time of the restaurant’s closing, it was unclear whether the location was part of the company’s plans to remodel a number of its restaurants or if it was among those to close in 2025. Denny’s has not released lists for remodels or closings.

Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
