The Early Bird breakfast and lunch destination in downtown Leland has a new tenant—one whose brand is already ubiquitous in northern Michigan. In mid-June, John and Steve Arens, who own the Leelanau Coffee Roasting Company in Glen Arbor, will open a breakfast bistro that combines high-quality food with fresh-roasted coffee on the main drag in Leland. They are leasing the space from Skip Telgard, who owns the Blue Bird restaurant next door. The Early Bird sat empty through much of 2020 as Telgard struggled to find enough employees to staff the popular eatery.
