Communities across the Charlotte region continue to grow their mix of dining and drinking spots, with several of the latest additions to open as part of adaptive-reuse projects.

Take Concord, for instance. That city 25 miles northeast of Charlotte added a plethora of new food options in October, several of which can be found at Gibson Mill Market — an adaptive-reuse project not far from downtown. The new food stalls include cookie, coffee, barbecue and burger, taco and cocktail vendors. Also recently opening in Concord is Mac’s Speed Shop as well as Pharr Mill Brewing Co.’s second taproom and first bricks-and-mortar restaurant.
And another adaptive-reuse project in the region — The Power House, which is part of Rock Hill’s University Center — is preparing to open several food-hall concepts in the first quarter of next year. That includes tacos, burgers, Southern-style cuisine, coffee, ice cream and ramen as well as a separate brewery.

Just north of uptown, in Optimist Park, popular Korean-inspired barbecue restaurant Seoul Food Meat Co. opened its second location in late October as part of the Lintmen’s adaptive-reuse project. Still to come there is a food hall spanning about 20,000 square feet that’s set to open later this year.
