General Retail/Restaurant News

I have a few friends who do vintage reselling, and business seems to be booming. There’s always some sort of market or pop up around town, so it’s nice to see a brick and mortar store of something that seems so popular.

I have stopped by and bought an oversized camouflage shirt for $12, not bad at all. They have some cool stuff, needs more but off to a great start. FANTASTIC layout and decor, really nice to have an actually cool shop downtown LMAO

Looks like it according to their Instagram. I’ve had the food truck before, it’s very good.

That seems to be a cursed location. Nothing ever seems to last.

Beside DGX and all that brings with it

What does DGX bring with it?

Not sure if there was official confirmation of @Boltman 's ahem scoop about Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream before now.

DGX has drama everyday. Police are there at least once a day. Gathering place to buy inexpensive alcohol which ensures this behavior. Spills over to the bus stop at the corner in front of the ever failing restaurant location.

They have alcohol at dgx?! Lol asking for a friend

I’m guessing he means beer, maybe wine.

I honestly had no idea. I’ve never been in one, and I just assumed it was like a dollar store but in a downtown.

It’s more like a 7-11 but downtown. Nothing like a Dollar General.

Why would you go to a chain when Raleigh’s own Goodberry’s is right there?
