The Green Room Salad Bar, which occupies a little sliver of space at 120 W. Congress in the Ford Building, is arguably the best place in downtown Detroit to buy salad by weight. The vegetables are always fresh, and the soups are pretty tasty.

Unfortunately, the owners of the building are giving them the boot from the 385-square-foot space, forcing them to scramble for a new home, Allie Gross of the Detroit Free Press reports. 

The owner posts on Facebook:  

There will only be 14 weeks left before the Green Room is homeless. We are trying to find a new home and it has proven to be more difficult that we thought. We are open to any and all ideas any of you may have. DM us if you have any leads!

The Freep reports:

In July 2017, Birmingham-based developers Zaid Elia and Matthew Shiffman — co-owners of nearby PARC bar —  purchased the 100-year-old Ford Building from the Sterling Group, which bought the building just six months earlier from longtime owner Tom Paglia Jr. Shortly, after the summer purchase, the duo announced fall plans for $4 million-plus in renovations, including a redesign to the lobby, upgraded technology, and infrastructure.

Three months later, in October, according to (the owner Steve) Zuccaro, he received a notice in the mail stating that he had until April 20 to vacate the premises.
