Thanks to two investors/developers who saw potential in Franklinton, the small town is—literally—growing up with new restaurants, shops and more.
Pitch, Please
The Cozy Heron, a new luxury glamping resort in Lillington, is slated to soft open in March, bringing comfort, cheer and camping into one place.
Oh, Mother
Madre: The first full-service locally conceived and owned restaurant to drop in Smoky Hollow will serve up coastal Mediterranean flare and serendipitous friend-making.
New Wave
Ready for an upgrade? A group has started a bottom-up conversation to join cities nationwide and replace the Raleigh flag with something more relevant.
Glenwood Tidal Wave
Glenwood South has a slew of new concepts dropping. The rub? Almost all of them are from just two hospitality groups.
Bet on This
Oh, appy day! The wait for mobile sports betting to become legal in North Carolina may soon be over. Here, where the bill stands and the benefits it provides.
See You at Sunset
From the team behind Sports & Social and PBR Cary comes AVA Rooftop Bar, a Mediterranean-inspired bar/restaurant/oasis opening on the roof of S&S in early April.
