Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area residents will soon have a new place to relax and enjoy each others' company. This summer, Encore Hookah will open at 622 N. Hewitt.
"The location we chose is perfect because we loved being in a central location where we could accommodate to local residents as well EMU and U of M students," says Encore Hookah's Heather Sinawe.
The hookah lounge won't be the Sinawe's family's first business venture in the area. After owning an Italian restaurant in Ann Arbor, the family decided to stick with their love of the service industry by sharing one of their own interests consumers.
"Hookah is something we enjoy smoking while relaxing and wanted to share the phenomenal experience with the Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor communities including our family and friends in surrounding areas," Sinawe says.
In addition to hookahs, Encore Hookah will provide free wifi access. For customers on the run, the business will also offer orange heads, or hookahs to-go made out of an orange, so the experience can be enjoyed at home.
Renovations are currently underway with this summer as a target date for opening. Updates can be found on Encore Hookah's
