An adult entertainment club in Ypsilanti reopens Friday night, nearly four years after a fire.

The fire in the summer of 2020 damaged Deja Vu Showgirls while the club was closed during the Covid pandemic. The owners of Deja Vu negotiated during a back-and-forth legal battle with the city as the building was repaired and upgraded due to issues found after the fire.

According to Deja Vu, the building on Washington underwent a complete remodel while it was closed.
