After GRR did some teasing on social media, Boochie Bar owner Jennifer Makowski dropped the big news: Boochie Bar at the Grand Rapids airport is officially happening, with a scheduled opening in November 2026.

From Downtown Rockford to the Concourse

Makowski originally opened Boochie Bar in 2023 on Algoma Avenue after discovering the health benefits of kombucha during her own wellness journey. The business quickly built a loyal fanbase, eventually consolidating operations into its current spot at 39 Courtland Street in downtown Rockford.

While an exact menu for the new restaurant hasn't been revealed, Boochie Bar is known for:

On-tap kombucha
Colorful acai bowls
Smoothies & protein shakes
Fresh salads, wraps, sandwiches, soups, and bagels

The addition of Boochie Bar comes as Gerald R. Ford International Airport continues rolling through its ambitious $600 million Elevate program. Between the Concourse A expansion and the $135 million Terminal Enhancement Project, GRR has been focused on bringing more authentic West Michigan flavor to traveling passengers.
