Popular Detroit restaurant Grey Ghost says it plans to open its fast-casual sister location in Ferndale this summer, a project it has dubbed “Little Ghost.”

Located at 22305 Woodward Ave., Ferndale in a former L.A. Insurance building, the 1,000-square-foot space will offer an abbreviated version of Grey Ghost’s menu, including its burger, chicken sandwich, and sides.

“We’re really excited to bring this new project to life,” chef and co-owner Joe Giacomino said in a statement. “The Grey Ghost burger has built quite a loyal following — we’re thrilled to be able to offer it in a playful new way in Oakland County.”

Little Ghost will largely offer carry-out and catering service, according to Four Man Ladder Hospitality. The restaurant group released renderings of the space showing a sleek interior with pink tiles and wood paneling.

In addition to Grey Ghost and Little Ghost, Four Man Ladder Hospitality also operates Second Best and Basan in Detroit.
