NFL Draft pays off big for Detroit shops, restaurants
Tom Teknos, owner of Hudson Cafe, credits the NFL Draft and its Detroit partners for helping the café on Woodward see its biggest boom in revenue since it opened in 2011. Hudson Café usually sees 400 to 600 guests per day on any given Thursday, Friday or Saturday, Teknos said. During the NFL Draft, daily customer traffic averaged 1,200 to 1,400.
