Lowes Foods is putting the finishing touches on a 50,000-square-foot store in Concord. It will be part of Christenbury Village, a 116,000-square-foot retail center at 2415 Herrons Nest Place NW. MPV Properties and Mission Properties are developing the site.

The Concord store is expected to provide a full-service supermarket experience, including Lowes Foods Originals, which allows shoppers to buy made-to-order meals that can be enjoyed in-store or taken home.

Founded in 1954, Lowes Foods has 85 stores in the Carolinas and Georgia, including locations in Huntersville, Harrisburg and Mooresville. It recently reopened its Mt. Airy store following a renovation. Three other stores are under development in Kannapolis, Waxhaw and Indian Land.

Plans at Christenbury Village call for two mixed-used buildings, with 150 apartment units as well as 26,000 square feet of commercial space. An additional 24,000 square feet of medical office and retail buildings are planned along Christenbury Parkway.

Legal Sea Foods, a New England-based dining brand, has unveiled a first look at its upcoming Chicago location at Marina City, 315 N. Dearborn Street. The new flagship location is slated to open its doors in July.

“We’re transforming the Marina City space into an immersive New England dining experience,” said Matt King, President and COO of Legal Sea Foods. “The design reflects what Chicagoans can look forward to from Legal Sea Foods — fresh, quality seafood combined with the finest hospitality.”

The space was designed by Phase Zero Design and constructed by Chicago-based architecture firm Norr. The expansive river-level restaurant will seat nearly 250 guests and features a large bar area, main dining room, private event spaces and outdoor terraces overlooking the Chicago Riverwalk.

A curved staircase leads up to an upper-level Oyster Bar, with bar seating and tables for 30 guests. The menu at the new Chicago location will include Legal Sea Foods’ specialties, including clam chowder, lobster rolls, and oysters.
