Grey Ghost’s Ferndale burger concept debuts its name and a cute look
One of the first big restaurant stories of 2025, in January, popular Detroit restaurant Grey Ghost announced it would open a small, more casual burger outpost in the heart of downtown Ferndale this year.
That project now has a name: Little Ghost.
Set to open this summer, Little Ghost is a 1,000-square-foot fast-casual restaurant that will sell Grey Ghost’s popular cheeseburger, plus a chicken sandwich and side dishes like fries and more. The cozy, pink space is built for speed and efficiency for a mostly carryout experience.
It’s the first fast-casual concept for Four Man Ladder Hospitality, the restaurant group behind Grey Ghost, Basan and Second Base bar, all in Detroit.
"We’re really excited to bring this new project to life," said chef and co-owner Joe Giacomino in a press release announcing the name. "The Grey Ghost burger has built quite a loyal following — we’re thrilled to be able to offer it in a playful new way in Oakland County."
The team of Four Man Ladder see the Ferndale Little Ghost as just the first of a few locations. Once ready at 22305 Woodward just south of Nine Mile, Little Ghost will be open daily for carryout, local delivery and catering services.
