It isn't really new. The chain is moving their restaurant from one location in Matthews to another location (Festival Shopping Center) just 2 miles away. Their previous location in Matthews was in a tired shopping center with some vacancies and random tenants like a tile shop and mattress shop. Bonefish Grill is owned by Outback Steakhouse parents company Bloomin' Brands. Bonefish also has location in South Charlotte, Concord, and Huntersville.

Bang Bang Shrimp is great at Bonefish chain or not.

Glad to hear the one project will be breaking ground soon.  I think it'll be a really good addition for Matthews.  Hopefully the old Shell lot gets redeveloped soon as well.  

I'd love to see some more retail with apartments/condos above like they did down the street from that lot.  Matthews has been doing pretty good, from what I've seen, about adding a mix of retail and housing.

Rolled through downtown Matthews today and yes changes are afoot downtown.  Saw this new retail building going up at Trade and John downtown.   I am surprised this building is not 2 stories with some office type tenants above though.
