A new pizza place is opening in town.

Arie Leder is opening a second Toppers Pizza location in Grand Rapids on Sept. 2 in a 1,200-square-foot storefront at 2675 E. Paris Ave. SE, just off 28th Street SE.

Leder’s first location is on Wealthy Street SE.

“We are very happy to be able to do this and are looking forward to expanding,” Leder said. “We know it will be a great challenge, and we are looking forward to it.”

The store will be managed by Leder’s son, Nathan Leder.

“We are a local family. My wife and I raised our son here, who is now very involved with the brand,” Arie Leder said.

Based in Whitewater, Wisconsin, Toppers Pizza serves up a variety of pizzas, breadsticks and chicken wings and has restaurants in 16 states.
