Major doughnut-and-coffee chain delays expanding in Brunswick

(This story has been updated to add new information.) A Massachusetts-based donut and coffee company has some delays in opening new locations in Brunswick County . With one location in Leland and another in Shallotte, three more Dunkins are slowly making their way to the area. There are only two existing Dunkin' locations operating in the county, one standalone Dunkin' in Leland and an in-store counter inside the Walmart Supercenter in Shallotte. County planning staff previously approved a standalone Dunkin' location at 4875 Long Beach Road SE, commonly known as N.C. 133, and another at 28 Blanton Road, Supply. The town of Carolina Shores approved plans for a third new location as well, to be constructed near the new Publix site. Construction is currently underway on the Long Beach Road location between a Food Lion-anchored retail area and Hampton Inn & Suites. The walls are up, but it is running behind schedule. Previous coverage: Major doughnut-and-coffee chain to open two more Brunswick stores Both the Supply and Southport area locations are owned by Dunkin' franchisee George Ross and will be completely new builds, former Senior Public Relations Specialist Julia Voutour previously told the StarNews.

Wilmington renters face tighter apartment market, study says

Demand is up in Wilmington for places to live. More specifically, for apartments. According to a study from apartment-related blog RentCafe, the rental market is getting hotter in Wilmington, defying a statewide trend observed in other small North Carolina cities. So what does this mean for Wilmington-area residents? RentCafe’s study , which published Oct. 8, suggests that renters will have a tougher time finding an apartment in the competitive market. Occupancy rates for apartments are rising, and the apartments themselves are sitting vacant for less time. This trend comes alongside Wilmington’s overall growth as populations all over the region continue to climb. Meanwhile, rent prices are also increasing, with one study finding that rents increased 13% between 2023 and 2026 – almost double the statewide rate of 7%. More: It now takes $90K+ to live comfortably in NC. What about Wilmington? How competitive is Wilmington’s rental market? RentCafe scored cities on the Rental Competitiveness Index, a tool that accounted for factors like occupancy rates, average vacant days, lease renewal rate, and the number of prospective renters in a city. Wilmington scored a 78.2 on this scale -- up from 74.2 last year and well over the national average of 73.9.
