Food Lion stores see face lift

WALNUT COVE — Food Lion stores across the Triad have been through a transformation over the last months as associates worked to make improvements to the grocery shopping experience for customers. Walnut Cove was one of the stores to host a grand reopening Wednesday, Nov. 4, just before 8 a.m.. “Food Lion announced a more than $270 million investment across 94 stores in Greater Greensboro and the Triad, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to the region while delivering an improved shopping experience for customers,” in a release last week. The investment also includes two new stores opened earlier this year in Summerfield and Greensboro, N.C.. Inspired by associate and customer feedback, the enhancements are designed to create an easy, fresh and affordable omnichannel shopping experience, giving customers more convenient ways to shop in-store, through pickup and/or home delivery. “Food Lion has proudly served the Greater Greensboro and Triad communities for more than 50 years, growing alongside generations of neighbors who have trusted us to be part of their everyday lives,” said Greg Finchum, President, Food Lion. “These investments are designed for the neighbors who count on us for fresh food, affordable prices and convenience.

This North Carolina Restaurant Looks Like A Backyard Party But Just Joined Michelin’s Exclusive List

The missing front door is what got me. Instead of walking straight into this North Carolina restaurant, guests follow a bright 1960s-style mural around a plain cinder block building until a backyard suddenly opens up behind it. By then, I already understand the name. It means “come over” in Hindi...

Upscale Italian restaurant chain expands into Raleigh at Crabtree mall location

A major restaurant group is expanding in the Triangle as the mall makeover continues at Crabtree Valley. The upscale Italian chain Maggiano’s will open a new location at Crabtree next year, taking over the former Brio space at the mall. Maggiano’s is usually connected with shopping malls, but there’s currently only one location in the Triangle — at Durham’s Streets at Southpoint mall. Crabtree Valley owner Macerich confirmed the addition of Maggiano’s in an email. “Maggiano’s Little Italy has built its name on classic Italian-American dining, memorable experiences and timeless flavors, and it is exactly the kind of brand that becomes part of the destination,” said Guy Mercurio, Macerich’s vice president and director of national restaurant leasing, in an email. “As Crabtree’s redevelopment continues, we’re focused on adding more entertainment and bringing dining, retail and entertainment together to create a destination guests want to return to,” he wrote. “Maggiano’s strengthens that mix alongside both established names and distinctive new concepts.” Brio closed last year, a move that surprised many in the Triangle and coincided with the brand filing for bankruptcy in August 2025. The restaurant had been open for 15 years and left North Carolina without any Brio locations. Maggiano’s

Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewing is bringing its beer to downtown Durham

Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewery is opening a taproom in downtown Durham's Unscripted hotel , taking over the space formerly occupied by Pour . Why it matters: The move introduces a new local spot for drinks and food downtown looking out onto CCB Plaza. State of play: Blackbird plans to begin selling beer this month in the Corcoran Street space. "A rolling opening is what we're calling it," Blackbird co-founder Harmony VanGundy says, laughing as she adds: "We still have no money. We need to sell some beer to make things happen." Because what they do have is product — a wide selection of beers brewed in Wake Forest — as well as permits, furniture and taps on the wall. Hours are not set, but Blackbird in Durham will "for sure" be open for the downtown tree-lighting on Nov. 21 and for other holiday events in December. What they're saying: "I just hope Durham likes us as much as we like them. They're tough, man. Tough crowd there. They kicked out Dampf BBQ real quick," she says with a laugh. Durham's beer drinkers have advanced palates, she tells Axios. "We're excited to have a space that when we make a smoked
