June and July brought several openings and closings in the Fayetteville-area food scene.
Two mall food court stands closed in Fayetteville and a burger drive-thru in Spring Lake served its last meal. A new restaurant and bar opened on Bragg Boulevard in Fayetteville, two food trucks made their debut, and a hot dog stand moved into a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Raeford Road.
Here’s a look at the latest comings and goings.
Stoner’s Pizza opens on Legion Road
Florida chain Stoner’s Pizza Joint opened in mid-July at the former Dairy Queen Grill & Chill at 3035 Legion Road, Suite 110.
Located at the Legion Crossing Plaza at Legion and Black and Decker roads, the restaurant with references to pot culture does not sell food infused with marijuana or hemp products — at least, not yet — spokesperson Ashley Dempsey told The Fayetteville Observer in May.
Stoner’s name originates from stone pizza ovens used at the original location in Charleston, South Carolina, which opened about a decade ago.
