FARE, a Chicago-based healthy eatery , opens Nov. 6 in South End in the Queensbridge Collective . Why it matters: This is FARE's first location outside of Chicago. Before FARE even opens the doors on its first Charlotte location, there are already plans to open a second Charlotte spot in late spring 2027 at the Commonwealth development in Plaza Midwood, FARE founder Kasia Bednarz tells Axios.
