“We’ll be cleaning up, doing some renovations, and will open in the spring,” says Robert Mechigian, who with partner Scott Meterko bought the assets of Nicholson’s motorcycles.
Nicholson’s sold mainly Japanese motorcycles (“metrics,” Mechigian calls them). While the new store will continue to carry Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha cycles, it will also sell snowmobiles, quads, side-by-sides, ATVs, ORVs, and some watercraft. “We may keep the Nicholson’s name in Ann Arbor or may change it to something totally different,” says Mechigian; he and Meterko also own Bright Power Sports in Lincoln Park.

More next month on the nearly simultaneous expansions of two vegan-loving enterprises. Phillis Engelbert and Joel Panozzo will open a second Lunch Room in Huron Towers in February; and Swaroop and Sumi Bhojani, owners of Hut K Chaats, took on partner Pradeep Chowdhry, bought Jazzy Veggie on Main, and are planning a grand reopening as Back2Roots Bistro (Hut K Chaats on Packard will remain unchanged).
