THANK YOU GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN!

We’re moving!

As of August 1st, Sovengard will be on hiatus for a few months as we finish building and move into our new home at 1232 Bridge St. NW, just down the road from where we’ve resided for almost 6 years. This new space will bring better accessibility and capabilities, parking, more space, and an updated design that we’re super excited about. We thank all our patrons and staff that have supported us this far, and hope you’ll join us this fall for the next chapter of Sovengard.
