WAYLAND, MI — Dozens of vehicles lined up to try the new Hot ‘n Now restaurant near Wayland, which opened on Monday, Oct. 13.

The drive-thru and walk-up restaurant is located at 1146 129th Ave. near Wayland.

Chad Larner was the first customer. He made a deal with his TikTok followers recently that he would stay there overnight if he got 500 new followers on a post about Hot ‘n Now.

When he got 600 new followers in one night, he was on the hook to sleep in his truck. He made the drive over from his home in Charlotte.

Drivers in line honked their horns as the new location opened for business at 10:30 a.m.

“I’m elated,” Gun Lake Investments CEO Monica King said. “It’s a huge day.”

King was among the first people to go through the drive-thru, ordering a burger.

Burgers start at $2.77.
