Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) -

The Gilmore Collection announced plans for a mulit-million dollar project for their entertainment hot spot; The BOB.

The new Gilmore Collection project promises a new outdoor festival marketplace, dining venues, and a concert and event space slated to hold up to 2,000 people.

The first phase of the renovation and expansion project includes a transformation of Gilly's – located on the ground floor. The new unnamed concept will feature craft beers and food that can be enjoyed in a more casual atmosphere; debuting July 1. The BOB's other dining and entertainment destinations, including Bobarino's, Judson's, Dr. Grin's Comedy Club, Eve and Crush will remain open throughout the project.

A second phase of work will begin on the event venue just after ArtPrize 2013, with completion slated for June 1, 2014. The new event and concert venue will be constantly changing to adapt to the changing seasons here in Grand Rapids. The open design will continue to allow for The BOB to be one of the most-trafficked venues during ArtPrize, while hosting an even wider variety of private events, public concerts and parties throughout the year. See photos of the expansion plan below.
