Detroit's Beloved Corned Beef House to Close After Six Decades of Serving Community
Bode's Corned Beef House, a Plymouth institution since 1959, is set to close its doors after more than 60 years of serving generations of families. The news has left the community heartbroken, but the owners are grateful for the memories they've made and hope to reopen in another location.
The decision to close comes unexpectedly, with the owners stating that they were sold the building by new company, leaving them no choice but to shut down. Despite this, the owners express their love for the community, saying it's been an honor serving families over the years.
In a poignant message posted on social media, Bode's Corned Beef House asks customers to visit in the coming weeks and enjoy one last corned beef meal as a tribute to the restaurant's legacy. The owners will also be hosting a fundraising event from 4-8 pm on December 15 to support their laid-off staff.
The news has sparked an outpouring of tributes and well-wishes for the beloved eatery, which has been a staple in Plymouth for generations. While it remains to be seen whether Bode's will reopen under new ownership, fans are already saying goodbye to the restaurant that has brought so much joy and comfort to their lives.
Bode's Corned Beef House was more than just a restaurant – it was a gathering place, a comfort zone, where families have created countless memories over the years. Its closure is a reminder of the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing every moment we have with loved ones.

... I mean, what's wrong with these new companies? Can't they just let people keep doing their thing without ruining everything? 
Anyway, it's crazy that the owners are getting sold out like that. I remember when my grandma used to take me there for Sunday lunch back in the 90s... those corned beef sandwiches were epic! 
I feel for the staff, too - I hope they get some support from the community 
. Can you imagine a Plymouth without Bode's? It's just not right, man 
.
my fam would always go ther 4 sunday dinners n stuff i remember gettin corned beef sandwiches 2go n watchin the patriots game on tv w/ my grandpa 
it's so sad 2 hear its closin but at least dey r gonna reopen maybe? u gotta come thru 4 th bday fund raiser on dec 15th 4 de staff 
. As a local, I've grown up hearing stories about Bode's and how it was more than just a place to eat, but a gathering spot for families and friends 
. Their decision to close is understandable given the circumstances, but it's still hard not to feel a little loss when you think about all the good times they must have seen over the years 
. I do hope they're able to reopen in another location or that their legacy lives on in some way 
. The way it went down, though? Yeah, that's just a bummer 
. It's crazy how a company can swoop in and change everything like that... it's hard not to think about all the staff who are going to be affected by this 
.
. And I'm with them on hosting that fundraising event, supporting their staff is key 
. The smell of corned beef and matzo ball soup still takes me back 
. It's crazy that it's closing down. I mean, the owners didn't have a choice or anything, but still... it's like losing a part of the community. I'm gonna make sure to stop by before they close for good 
. The fundraising event sounds cool too 
. Maybe someone will pick up where Bode's left off and keep the legacy alive 
The owners are doing the right thing by having one last hurrah & hosting that fundraising event on Dec 15. Fingers crossed they find a new location or someone buys 'em out so we can still get our fix of Bode's goodness 
I'm literally crying thinking about Bode's Corned Beef House closing down after 60+ years 
. I've had so many amazing meals there as a kid, it's like a part of my childhood is being taken away 
. They deserve all our love and support right now! 
. Fingers crossed they can reopen in another location, but even if not, let's keep their memory alive by sharing all those wonderful Bode's stories 
!
.
it's crazy how places like these can become part of our culture & history 
they've been serving that community for 60+ yrs and now its all gonna be gone ... i remember reading posts from ppl who grew up goin to bodes corned beef house with their fams and it was like a tradition ... the fact that they're hostin a fundraiser to help out the staff is really sweet tho 
. And that fundraising event on Dec 15 is so sweet of them! Let's raise a hand (and some money) for their old staff 
... but you gotta give 'em props for trying to reopen in another location and hosting a fundraiser for their laid-off staff - that's just really cool of them
