“It warms my heart, it just gets me so excited to see all these people that have been touched by what was my father’s dream and his passion, and it’s just an honor to be able to carry it on,” said Jeremy Yagoda.

Marvin's ran into trouble earlier this year. Many people were upset when a redevelopment plan at Hunter's Square in Farmington Hills forced the museum to move.

The museum posted photos Monday evening of what will be its new digs down the road at Orchard Mall in West Bloomfield.

It will expand from 5,300 to 14,000 square feet, creating enough room to host private parties.

"We're not just going bigger, we're going a lot bigger," said Yagoda.
