MSU junior Richard Allen III has begun his own business, Sparty Island, that specializes in Coney Island style food. There had been a demand for an authentic coney style restaurant in East Lansing due to there being a large demographic of students from the Metro Detroit area where Coney Islands are popular. Allen has just begun his journey and allowed us to speak about the business on opening day of Sparty Island.
