Meritage Hospitality Group is opening a second Stan’s Taco location next month on the lakeshore.

Grand Rapids-based Meritage said Tuesday, July 27, it will open a Stan’s Tacos location at 21 Beacon Blvd. in Grand Haven on Aug. 10.

The Grand Haven location joins Stan’s Tacos in Walker and other restaurants in the Meritage portfolio including Wendy’s, Morning Belle, Twisted Rooster and Freighters. 

“The vision for Stan’s Tacos is to create a place where we can bring our family and friends to enjoy great tacos and good times,” said Gary Rose, president and COO of Meritage. “We feel our Grand Haven opening is timely, as COVID-related restrictions are lifted and guests are free to relax with family and friends.”

Stan’s Tacos offers an a la carte-style menu of popular Mexican tacos, scratch-made from fresh ingredients, as well as a variety of alcoholic beverages.
