Auburn Hills Welcomes HopCat
Posted on: May 19, 2026
Auburn Hills residents and visitors now have easier access to Cosmic Fries with the opening of HopCat at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets! City Council members, City staff, and the Auburn Hills Chamber of Commerce joined HopCat for a ribbon cutting on May 6, followed by a grand opening celebration on May 9.
While this is HopCat's thirteenth location, the leadership team doesn't view the company as a chain, but as a part of each community they serve. The company's community focus is supported by the creation of the HopCat Employee Assistance Fund, which was originally developed to support employees facing hard times. The program has grown enough to also assist members of the community. Learn more by visiting https://app.helplink.org/p/hopcat.
HopCat occupies the former Bar Louie space in District 6, which has been redesigned to include a welcoming outdoor patio. Check out their hours and menu at https://www.hopcat.com/auburn-hills/our-hours-hopcat-auburn-hills.
