Leo’s Coney Island is FROH October 2020 Featured Business

October 3, 2020 By Joe Pagano

Flat Rock Our Hometowns featured business for October is Leo’s Coney Island.
These restaurant owners have a long history of family tradition. Sam and Moe opened their first Leo’s Coney Island in 2011 in Belleville. Moe had been in the restaurant business for 30 years and decided it was good time for he and his brother to start their own.
With great success at their first effort, they opened their second location in Flat Rock in 2015. Quickly after, Sam’s son, Ali, came in to help run the business. Not long after, the youngest son, Hassan, started dish washing at the restaurant. At this point, the restaurant was largely staffed by family. Working long hours and managing two locations, all of their hard work was paying off. The business was growing and customers were continually coming in. This is what Flat Rock is all about: grit, family, and community. That being said, it is not all a family affair. Their manager, Chiara, has been with them since day one. Keith, the restaurant manager, has been in the Leo Coney Island family for a long time. Most of their staff has been with Sam and Moe for years.
Now in 2020, Hassan is running the Flat Rock Leo’s location. His hard work led him to grow and run the business. Hassan said he really loves the community here in Flat Rock. He loves seeing the same happy faces. Hassan admitted he has customers who give him constructive criticism, but he likes the feedback. He wants the restaurant to always be better and the customers to be happy.
If you haven’t been to Leo’s, please do pay them a visit. They’d love to have you try all that they have to offer.
They even have a wonderful Mediterranean menu, complete with homemade hummus, fattoush, and shawarma sandwiches.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
