Macomb and St. Clair Shores Officials Celebrate Wally's Grand Opening

Matt and Eliza Ahearn were surrounded by friends, family along with local and county officials Saturday to celebrate the opening of Wally's Frozen Custard and Coffee Station with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The event was part of a two day grand opening celebration that concludes today. Among the events planned for today include product samples, coloring contests and clowns.

For nearly 60 years Wally's had been a destination for frozen treats on Harper, south of 8 Mile, in Harper Woods.

But the business outgrew the original 700-square-foot building, and the Ahearns built a  a new location, on the corner of Harper and Elizabeth.

The new facility features with additional parking, a drive-thru and a 2,600-square-foot building to serve customers.
