"Arthur Scott, owner and operator of JAAR, cited several reasons for the closure.
He cited the demise of the region's Summer Celebration festival and Muskegon Bike Time organizers' recent decision to end its signature "Steel Horse Alley" activity nearby and move the event to Great Lakes Downs in Fruitport Charter Township.
Scott said the traffic dynamics in downtown had also changed, with patterns going "around the city versus coming through the city." "It doesn't generate a whole lot of customers down there," he said.Scott said JAAR saw the opening of the new Muskegon Farmers Market as a "huge opportunity," but was later disappointed upon learning the bazaar featured hot food options.
Whistle Punk Pizza, which recently opened a standalone eatery on Third Street, is among the food vendors and is known to serve a popular breakfast pizza."
