Do believe they had a location in Garden City off of Ford Rd./Middlebelt area if I remember correctly. <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=712270Sun, 16 Sep 2012 15:31:34 GMT I recall one in Ypsilanti MI on Washtenaw ave. in the late 70's.&nbsp;It became a Burger Works, rather like a Fuddrucker's.. but&nbsp; they didnt last long. Changed names more than I can remember. The Burger Chef in Ypsilanti on Michigan ave became a Hardee's. and a lousy one at that! As a small child I thought Hardee's was the devil. <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=712252Sun, 16 Sep 2012 12:17:50 GMT We had one in Niles Michigan, it became a Rodell's, then a A &amp; W and it is now a site of a Riteaid. <br> &nbsp; <br> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=712219Sun, 16 Sep 2012 02:05:40 GMT We had one in Ionia, Michigan in the 70's, went out of buisness sometime in the 80's. Now the building is a video store. http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=225963Thu, 31 Aug 2006 16:17:17 GMT We had one in Ionia, Michigan in the 70's, went out of buisness sometime in the 80's.

I just posted it the other day. <br> <br> <a href="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9602</a> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=225961Tue, 29 Aug 2006 13:29:53 GMT <br> A few years ago Hardees brought back the Big Shef for a limited return. <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/blushing.gif" alt="" /> <br> Burger Chef I remember the most in Michigan was in Westland (Detroit suburb) at <br> the corner of Wayne Rd. & Cherry Hill Rd. in front of K-Mart & Great Scott! <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/thumbup1.gif" alt="" /> http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=225960Fri, 11 Aug 2006 14:18:27 GMT We used to eat there all the time. The chain officially died for good in 1997. I think some of them became Carl's Jr., but most of them are now Hardees (there are no Carl's Jr. in Michigan, and only three Hardee's locations). http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=225959Fri, 11 Aug 2006 03:18:40 GMT I'm Just Curious, were there any Burger chefs in Michigan and when did they last leave? I herd before Hardees went downhill, they purchased a lot of the Chefs before they left Michigan http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=225958Thu, 10 Aug 2006 22:45:07 GMT
