LANSING TWP. — The owner of the Flap Jack Shack that has been closed since an April fire said the popular restaurant won't open until at least the end of February, and likely longer, because of a dispute with Auto-Owners Insurance. Owner Jozef Gjonaj said the conflict centers on who is responsible for repairs in the event of an insurance claim for the interior of the building at 3000 E. Grand River Avenue, he or building owner Sam Edye Management Co. Gjonaj leases the space from Eyde and was insured through Auto-Owners. Gjonaj said he's provided ample proof to Lansing-based Auto-Owners, including a lease agreement, that his company J&G Restaurant, Inc. is responsible for all interior repairs at the restaurant. Auto-Owners received a June 25 insurance claim for the interior damages of approximately $2.2 million, according to documents provided to the State Journal by Jeff Moss.
