- Own a unique, historically profitable family entertainment destination...Cottage Inn Pizza in Hillsdale MI. The current owners acquired the Cottage Inn franchise in 2014 and quickly outgrew their original in-town location as birthday parties and family gatherings took off. In 2018 they purchased the former Silo's Fun Park, recognizing the opportunity to create a true regional draw for families and groups. The reimagined operation blends a strong food business with multiple entertainment revenue streams and has become a well-known local destination. The Cottage Inn restaurant offers dine-in, carryout, and delivery, and is one of only two locations in the area with a full dine-in experience. Guest capacity is rated at 99, with seating for over 110 utilizing additional approved space. The expanded dining room is thoughtfully designed with two distinct experiences: a "quiet side" with booths, tables, hot/cold lunch buffet and jukebox for guests seeking a calmer atmosphere, and
