This may already have been discussed, so apologies ahead of time if so, why is Larkin's moving? That spot seems amazing where they are now.  Is it expected traffic from the Grand Bohemian?  I have hear they may be getting Nantucket.   I would think that Larkins currently being soooooo  close to the peace center, having that amazing outdoor patio, and being on the water just would be something that could not be topped.

It was my understanding this was a new Larkin's concept restaurant, not them moving. Perhaps I am misremembering.

The Peace Center did not renew their lease according to a 2020 article on the matter.

Jeni’s signs are now installed in the plaza.

Why is Social Burger only open three hours a day? Baffling for sure. They won’t get my business with those crappy hours.

They’ve seemed quite busy during those hours. Hopefully it leads to some dinner service or weekend lunches soon.

The article in the paper suggested lack of help and also this is a period of time they are using like a soft opening. Makes sense to me. More hours are coming.

Glad to see that they'll have 50 seats outside, and may consider a permanent structure in the future. They'll have great visibility from above on Main Street.

Camperdown is going to pretty dessert heavy. Not that I'm complaining.

Another overpriced restaurant downtown nobody can afford to eat at thanks to this crazy inflation. Need more fast casual places downtown that are more affordable like Chipotle and Chick Fil A.

“Nobody can afford to eat at.” Well, these places are packed out almost everyday of the week. I agree with you on the casual places, but the demographics must show Greenville is a hotbed for high end restaurants. It seems as though the lower priced casual places are the ones not making it.

Good points. If one wants to keep lower cost restaurants or encourage more to open, go support the ones that we have.

I just supported Burger King by buying a $3.00 Impossible Whopper. $3.00!

Just seeing this. Being a Columbian (with family in Greenville), I did a double take. This would not, by chance, be a bar, like the one with the same name in 5 Points, would it?

It’s a bar with indoor mini golf, ice curling, ax throwing, and ping pong.

Carmella's

I ran through the Camperdown complex this morning; it seems like there are a bunch of vacant spaces between Starbucks and Southern Tide.  Someone walking down Main Street (and the crowds walking down that part of Main are huge on weekends) might not know that those spaces are there, since they're on the far side of the development, blocked from view from the sidewalk.  Maybe getting a destination anchor tenant, or maybe just better signage, would help get them filled?
