IMMEDIATE HELP WANTED!

The last few days have been a little crazy (in the best possible way). We’re feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who has come through the doors since our move to the Franklin House.

We’re looking to add a few good people to our little team:

If you’re hardworking and want to be part of something small but special, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email us at [email protected] if this is something you might be interested in!

Who could have known that a small classroom in an old elementary school could be transformed into a place where we made countless memories and built so many connections that we will carry with us forever. We are so thankful for each and every guest. Whether you stopped in once or were one of our beloved regulars, THANK YOU! You mean the world to us, and we are so happy we were able to serve you and our community.

While we must say goodbye for now, we are thrilled to announce our next chapter with our friends at

The Dojo will be relocating to 115 Franklin Street in Downtown Traverse City.

We will keep you posted on our reopening date, and we cannot wait to see you there!
