New regional cuisine restaurant comes to Cary by the end of the year
Sama Hospitality is opening a new contemporary Indian restaurant called Bar O Bar in Cary following the success of Morrisville’s Fusion Nine, an Indian fusion dining experience. The new restaurant, located at 2301 Corley Road, is rooted in the culinary traditions of South India, bringing a “refined yet approachable” take on Indian dining to the Triangle. Scheduled for a December opening, the kitchen is lead by Michelin-trained Chef Vikash Vumudi. “We created Bar O Bar to showcase the depth, diversity and creativity of Indian cuisine beyond what many guests may have experienced,” Sai Ancha, co-owner said in a press release. “Cary felt like the perfect home for that vision. It’s a community that values great food and genuine hospitality, and we want every guest to leave having discovered something new, while feeling welcomed like family.” Bar O Bar centers on the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on South Indian flavors and traditions rather than the North Indian dishes that are widely associated with Indian cuisine in the United States, according to the press release. The opening menu will still feature ingredients familiar to the regional cuisine like fresh coconut, mustard seeds, black pepper and curry leaves.

In the tiny Chatham County town of Moncure, just off US 1, a family-run shop has quietly turned quick stops into full pantry hauls. It stocks bulk baking staples, Amish-made goods, fresh pies, and a candy wall that can derail even the most disciplined shopping list.

After an abrupt exit, retail merchandising carts are back at Crabtree Mall
After a brief hiatus, the retail merchandising carts are back at Crabtree Valley Mall, with mall owners, Macerich, posting leasing signs on units in the hallways this week. In September 2025, retail merchandising unit (RMUs) operators were informed that they would have to leave at the end of the month. After buying the mall in June 2025, Macerich shared plans of $60 million worth of upgrades for a “light, bright and more modern” look, The News & Observer previously reported. “The relaunch of the RMU program is an exciting part of Crabtree’s ongoing transformation,” Macerich said in a statement. “As we continue to modernize the center and elevate the guest experience, we’re introducing a new generation of RMUs featuring a sleek, contemporary design that complements the center’s refreshed look and feel.” Retail merchandising units are different from kiosks. The RMUs are mall-owned, movable carts that the property provides and maintains, with tenants renting both the cart and the space. Kiosks are custom-built and maintained by the tenant, with ownership leasing only the space. The mall’s kiosk program has never left. “The updated RMUs feature a streamlined design that supports improved traffic flow and space utilization while providing unique concepts an
