As a new food hall prepares to open in South End, it joins a growing list of food stall halls and other food courts.
Providence Group Capital is planning to open a seven-stall food hall next year in South End at South Tryon and Rampart streets. Construction is expected to begin at the end of the year at the former auto body shop spot.
Designs call for a a large, open outdoor seating space that will eliminate parking. Providence Group leasing agent Lauren Faulkenberry said the area has great walkability and can handle no on-site parking.
Just north of Charlotte in Mooresville the former Merino Mill has been transformed into a shopping and dining destination. The venue now has food from pizza and burgers to a beer garden and coffee shop.
