In May, Michelle Fink took over the former Gus’s Watershed near Lake Lansing in Haslett and tore through renovations, reopening as The Watershed Tavern & Grill in June.
Fink repainted the building, repaired the floors and added new tables and high definition televisions. Fink’s brother owns the building, but she is the general manager. Fink hopes to add a new patio by the end of this month.
“He couldn’t run it anymore, so that’s when I jumped in,” she says. “I wanted to 
change everything so it didn’t have the old identity from the old owners.”
NuvaMarketing, an online business strategy and marketing company, created the new brand identity for the Watershed Tavern & Grill.
Fink says business has “absolutely” increased since she took over.
“July is usually our slowest month and we really haven’t felt it this year,” she says. “It’s been consistent and that’s been really positive.”
The Watershed Tavern & Grill is located at 5965 MarshRd. in Haslett.
