FLINT, Michigan -- That thin folded pancake filled with lox or cinnamon and sugar that you might find on the streets of Paris is coming soon to the streets of downtown Flint.
In fact, you can get your first taste of the Flint Crepe Co. at 7:33 a.m. on Labor Day, when friends Robb Klaty and Tim Goodrich plan to roll out their crepe cart at the corner of Court and Fifth streets.
Klaty, 36, and Goodrich, 33, admit that French crepes on the street in Flint might be a weird idea.
"We are looking to meet a demand that we think is there," Klaty said of the crepes that will sell for around $4 to $7.
The business duo will operate their to-go business 7:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday from the parking lot of the Flint Area Chamber of Commerce, 927 S. Saginaw St., using a covered seven-foot stainless steel cart.
"It has a double crepe griddle," Goodrich said, adding crepes can be cooked in about two minutes.

Boy, if there was ever a story about how far downtown Flint has come in the last 10 years, this is it. A crepe cart? Awesome!! I'll have to go down there now that I'll be working somewhat nearby.
The location is the parking lot of the old Williamson campaign headquarters, which was recently bought by the newly formed Flint Area Chamber of Commerce. The county jail, courthouse, and Flint City Hall are across the streets, so there is a decent amount of foot traffic here.
