Metropolitan Variety Store and Metropolitan Bar & Kitchen, a store for beer, wine, and spirits, and a bar and kitchen are raising funds on Honeycomb. The two distinct businesses are owned and managed by the same team. While the Variety Store will sell craft beer, wine, and spirits, the Bar & Kitchen will offer a seasonal food and beverage menu. Metropolitan Variety Store and Metropolitan Bar & Kitchen are owned by Detroit Shipping Company, run by Brendon Edwards. The proceeds of the current crowdfunding round, with a minimum raise of $60,000 and a maximum raise of $225,000, will be used to purchase inventory, pay rent and utilities, expand the business’ website, manage social media, and pay for other expenses. Metropolitan Variety Store and Metropolitan Bar & Kitchen are developing a novel concept of bringing a variety of retail points under the same roof.
