AlixPartners, located at 2000 Town Center, has been in Southfield since its inception in 1981. The consulting firm specializes in four main disciplines: enterprise improvement, corporate turnaround and restructuring, financial advisement and information management. “We consult in virtually every business venture from retail to healthcare,” Director of Communications Tim Yost.
The company began when founder Jay Alix relocated from Connecticut to Michigan, where he decided to lay the roots for his firm. In its early stages, AlixPartners built its reputation in restructuring and forensics, with clients such as Sanders and DeLorean. Over the years the firm has grown in size, expanding to thousands of offices all over the world. “AlixPartners is proud to call Southfield its home for more than three decades,” said Yost.
Wingstop, a Dallas-based national chain, has chosen Southfield as the perfect setting for its first Michigan location. The new restaurant, located at 25110 Evergreen just north of the Lodge freeway, is slated to open in the last week of October. Restaurant general manager Dionna Metzler notes that Southfield offers a great diverse community. “There’s a really good mix of everything,” she said.
