History
Bagger Dave's was established in 2008, in Berkley, Michigan, by Michael Ansley, who is also the current CEO of the restaurant chain.[1]
Since its founding in 2008, Bagger Dave's had opened restaurants in 26 locations: 17 in Michigan, and 9 in Indiana.[2] On December 28, 2015, Bagger Dave's announced they would be closing eight underperforming locations. One in Downtown Detroit and seven in Indiana.[3] In 2016, the company was spun off from Diversified Restaurant Holdings, and additional closures in 2017 and 2018 leave the chain with just 10 remaining locations.[4]
On January 26th, 2024, the chain announced it would be rebranding the final six locations, four in Michigan, one in Ohio, and one in Ft. Wayne, IN. [5]
The Chesterfield, MI location closed on February 16, 2025, leaving the chain with only 5 locations.
