(AP) -- Country music is coming to a sprawling shopping mall 35 miles north of downtown Detroit. Singer-songwriter Toby Keith plans to open a 650-seat restaurant and entertainment center called 'I Love This Bar & Grill' at the Great Lakes Crossing mall in Auburn Hills.
Marketing director Melissa Morang says the restaurant will feature home-style Southern cooking, live country music and dancing and occasional appearances by Keith himself.
The menu will feature the American Soldier Burger, which will be served at no cost to any military personnel with valid military ID.
The restaurant is expected to employ 200 people.
