Downtown Lansing has its own local celebrity — and he’s covered in fur. Regular visitors to the iconic Peanut Shop may already know Kevin, the delightfully chunky squirrel who has made the area around the shop his unofficial headquarters.
Kevin is famous for greeting employees and customers alike, always hoping for a peanut, a snack, or a little attention. In fact, he’s become so comfortable with his fans that he’ll even come right up to the door of The Peanut Shop to ask politely for a treat.
Over time, Kevin has become a beloved part of the downtown routine, bringing smiles to patrons as he scampers around in search of snacks. With his playful personality and fearless charm, Kevin reminds us that even the smallest local characters can help make Downtown Lansing feel like home.
