Phillips Place makeover: New restaurant, retail openings announced in SouthPark
It’s been an interesting year for Phillips Place retail center in SouthPark. RH Charlotte, The Gallery at Phillips Place opened a 41,000-square-foot showroom in early June, while late June saw the permanent closure of long-time Charlotte restaurant staple Upstream. The shopping center also saw the sudden closing of Dean & Deluca in 2018 and the closing of WP Kitchen + Bar in 2019.
Now, Phillips Place shoppers have some new developments to look forward to, from restaurants to retail.
“We’ve seen tremendous traffic and interest at Phillips Place, especially since the opening of the spectacular new RH Charlotte space back in June,” said David Connor, senior vice president for Phillips Place owner/developer Lincoln Harris. “That really created an entirely new front door for Phillips Place, which in turn has generated a lot of excitement for the property. It’s all part of our efforts to continue being Charlotte’s preferred luxury retail experience.”
Southern Pecan Gulf Coast Kitchen, a new restaurant from Café Monte owner Monte Smith, opened Oct. 5. Here, you’ll find Southern favorites like chicken and dumplings, po boys, fried seafood and macaroni and cheese in a casual atmosphere.
Here’s what’s expected to relocate or open by the end of the year:
What: Granville, an antique and home furnishings store, will double in size.
Where: Relocating to part of the old Restoration Hardware space.
When: Expected around Thanksgiving.
What: John Michael Kitchens, a showroom for high-end kitchen equipment. This is the first storefront for the company, and will feature custom cabinetry and appliance brands such as Viking, Miele, Kraus and True.
