Rosie's Café: Where good food meets great company

We proudly unveiled the name of our beloved café, inspired by Rose Will Monroe, the iconic riveter from Belleville’s Willow Run Aircraft Factory during WWII. Meals are served twice a week across all shifts, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and collaboration among coworkers.

Reflect on the legacy of Rosie’s Café, a homage to an extraordinary individual who found her love for aviation at 50 and obtained her pilot’s license. This story exemplifies the remarkable determination and spirit that we cherish and celebrate within our workplace community.
