The location of the former Joe’s Crab Shack in Fayetteville, which closed in 2023 after more than two decades in business, will soon have a new tenant offering Asian cuisine.
The 6,974-square-foot building at 155 N. McPherson Church Road, which has been vacant for more than a year , will be home to Yummy Bowl .
