DETROIT — Aretha Franklin wants to open a Detroit entertainment venue that would include a nightclub and fine dining.
The Queen of Soul said in an interview she’s “glad Detroit came through the bankruptcy with flying colors.”
She also said that she loves how Detroit is enjoying a renaissance and that she’s “going to be part of that renaissance.”
The singer said the venue would include “a five-star night club for dining and dancing, the band, the whole nine yards,” as well as a museum.
Downtown Detroit has been a hotbed of redevelopment since the city emerged from Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in December.
