Belmont’s new restaurant has famous roots

June 12, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Belmont is getting a new restaurant, and not just any restaurant. Pop musicians, The Jonas Brothers, and more specifically their dad, Kevin Sr., will be opening up a restaurant, slated to open tomorrow, June 13, at 11 AM. It will be called Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, named for Kevin’s maternal grandmother, and it will be located at 36 N. Main St. and will feature a lunch and dinner menu with items such as fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits and housemaid pastries made by Pastry Chef Emily Pentecost. Chef Ben Sholiton, who was most recently a Charlotte catering chef, will be leading the kitchen.

The Jonas family can trace its North Carolina roots all the way back to the 1760s, and had family members who worked in textile mills from the early 1900s until the late 80s. The family believes approximately 60 relatives are still living in the vicinity. Opening Nellie’s Southern Kitchen is a way to honor the family and also reinvest in Belmont. Belmont is thriving and they want to help bring even more visitors to the town.

The restaurant will occupy approximately 10,000 square feet in a building that had previously been home to an antique and consignment store that was purchased by the Jonas family in 2013. While the menu will focus on comfort food and southern classics, there will also be some lighter and healthier tweaks to some southern staples.

The opening of the restaurant has created approximately 100 full- and part-time jobs. Plans call for the restaurant to offer live music and entertainment as well as delicious food. The restaurant also has plans to offer a fast-casual concept called Nellies Pick Me Up starting June 20.

Dunkin’ Donuts and more opening in Lake Wylie this summer

May 21, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Lake Wylie is getting a brand new Dunkin’ Donuts this summer, just in time for iced coffee season. The coffee chain will be opening at the Collett development site, just off of S.C. 49 and Carroll Cove Lane. The store opening has been in the works for a while and is looking forward to quickly becoming a part of the fabric of the Lake Wylie community.

The building will be approximately 2,000 square feet and will include the always important drive-up window. Free WiFi, digital menu boards and as many as 50 parking spaces will not only make this location super convenient, but it will also be the most up-to-date design that Dunkin’ Donuts offers and will be loaded with technology.

The Lake Wylie store is slated to open by the end of June and is currently a bit ahead of schedule. The shop will hire about 30 employees, both full- and part-time, with operating hours between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.

It is conveniently located at the intersection near the new Publix and Walmart with lots of natural traffic already passing through the area. And while Dunkin’ Donuts is known for its coffee, it also offers plenty of healthy breakfast and lunch options, including sandwiches, smoothies and more.

In addition to Dunkin’ Donuts, Lake Wylie is also getting a new Taco Bell in the same location, ready to satisfy your craving for Mexican-Style fast food. With plans to hire about 40 new employees and to open on Memorial Day weekend, the store will be the latest prototype for the franchise, opening for breakfast at 7 a.m. and closing at midnight or even later.

The Collett development still has space for two more businesses to open in the center.

Wylie Commons breaks ground at The Shoppes at The Landing

May 4, 2016 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

New commercial development is in the works for The Landing on Lake Wylie. The Lake Wylie area, given its strong economy and local demographic, has several companies looking to develop the area. The recent opening of Publix at the Shoppes at The Landing makes it a hot area.

The Shoppes at the Landing, a major retail hub in the community, is getting three new great businesses. Wylie Commons has broken ground on a property that will include Moe’s Southwest Grill, SportClips and TK Nails Spa & Waxing.

The building will total approximately 9,000 square feet, and will be a multi-tenant retail building that is currently seeking two other tenants to stabilize the project and to fill out the area.

The new building will be situated between S.C. 49 and Nautical Drive at the intersections with Bulkhead Way. Moe’s Southwest Grill, which will be located at the far left of the project and will include patio space, will neighbor a 1,800 square foot space that would be a great fit for a large business or could be subdivided into smaller spaces. At the opposite end of the project from where Moe’s will be situated lies a 1,400 square foot space with a patio that will most likely be another restaurant, coffee shop or cafe.

The entire Wylie Commons project is scheduled to be completed by August 1st with an official opening slated for no later than October 1st. The one and a half acre site will offer 62 parking spaces, which should accommodate the additional retail, dining and business that Wylie Commons is bringing.
