Maxwell’s Tavern Celebrates 16 Years With Family at the Heart of It All

Before Maxwell’s Tavern opened its doors for the first time in 2010, the staff gathered beside the bar for a photograph.

Former Earth Fare site near Charlotte is ready to debut with new specialty grocer

Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding again, debuting its fourth Charlotte-area store in the same spot as a former specialty grocer in time for the holiday season. Sprouts will open at 7 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at Christenbury Corners, 8885 Christenbury Parkway , in Concord. The 24,110-square-foot store marks Sprouts’ first location in a Charlotte suburb. The site near Concord Mills mall was previously home to Earth Fare , which closed in August 2025 amid lease negotiations. Asheville-based Earth Fare originally opened there in 2017 before the company filed for bankruptcy in 2020 and reopening under ownership. In 2021, the Concord store reopened. Sprouts’ expansion is part of a highly competitive landscape , where nearly 730 grocery stores are vying for market share across Charlotte’s over $10.8 billion supermarket industry . “Charlotte continues to experience strong population growth and a growing interest in healthy living,” Sprouts told The Charlotte Observer. That includes demand for fresh produce and items that support a healthy lifestyle, the company said. The new location arrives alongside a wave of recent grocery store openings across the Charlotte area, including Food Lion in east Charlotte , Publix in Union County and Wegmans in Ballantyne .
