John Varvatos celebrated his latest store opening in his hometown of Detroit last night, April 16. We all know it wouldn’t be a Varvatos event without a musical performance, so Detroit native Alice Cooper surprised guests with a live set of his classic hits. The event brought in over 600 attendees including celebrities like Kate Upton, Justin Verlander and Michael Bolton.

As Varvatos introduced Cooper to the stage, he told the crowd, “For me, this is more than a store opening celebration. It’s a kickoff celebration of things to come to the city of Detroit. The future is bright and it’s just the beginning!”
