Fundraising efforts are underway to save an iconic Battle Creek breakfast institution.
Mention Battle Creek to anyone and they will most likely think cereal. The Cereal City is synonymous with breakfast. For those who grew up in Battle Creek the Pancake House was likely a regular stop where friends and family gathered to catch-up, and of course, eat pancakes.
Battle Creek s Pancake House has been in the community for over 50 years. It was once known as the Village Inn Pancake House . Joan Kain moved to Battle Creek in 1967, running a franchise location then known as the Village Inn Pancake House. It became its own restaurant in 1982 continuing to operate at 185 Capital Avenue S.W.
