Grand Rapids is getting a delicious new addition to its dining scene: TOUS les JOURS, a French-Korean bakery chain, has set an official opening date for its Grand Rapids location. The bakery, known for its artisan breads, pastries, and cakes that blend European and Asian baking traditions, is expanding into the city — giving West Michigan residents a fresh destination for a morning treat or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Also brightening downtown Grand Rapids this summer is a golf cart ride service that does double duty as a community booster. The service offers convenient rides around the downtown area while simultaneously supporting local youth programs — a feel-good way to get around the city that puts dollars back into the community with every trip.

Together, these two stories capture what makes Grand Rapids such a vibrant place to live: a growing food scene that keeps welcoming new flavors from around the world, and local entrepreneurs finding creative ways to invest in the next generation. Whether you’re hopping a cart to your favorite downtown spot or stopping in for a fresh-baked pastry, there’s a little something new to enjoy in the city this season.
