Heads up on two openings
I have news on two store opening dates coming up next week and this summer.
Zaxby’s Salem restaurant will open its doors this Monday, according to franchisee Tom Noelke. The fast food eatery on West Main Street opens from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
Also, I nailed down a potential opening month for Kroger’s new store under construction on U.S. 460 in Bonsack. It may open as early as July, said Carl York, a Kroger spokesman.
York also said Kroger is not announcing details yet about a new fuel center that appears planned for Towers Shopping Center. Last week, the grocery chain filed site plans with Roanoke City to build a five-pump gasoline station at the corner of 23rd Street and Brandon Avenues. That area is just below Towers. Kroger has a store on Towers lower level.
