♦ The bad news: Dead Ed’s will close on East Innes in Salisbury as will an antique store and a clothing store on Main Street. More stores are rumored to shutter after an especially tough holiday shopping season in Downtown Salisbury. A lack of people traffic, parking, and the high cost of doing business Downtown usually leads to a short existence.
On the upside one of the biggest chain Sports Bars/wing restaurants in the U.S.A Buffalo Wild Wings MIGHT open on the 1500 block of East Innes. If its doors open, it will no doubt snuff out any area sports bar and surely another restaurant. The Buffalo Wild Wings at Afton Ridge does an incredible business for folks who love sports and wings. Don’t get your hopes up yet–so many plans for chain restaurants never materialize in the Bury. How long was the Golden Corral rumored to be coming and never showed?
Posted on Dead Ed’s Facebook page: “Big news for Dead Ed’s!!! We will be closing the store front at the end of January. Don’t be sad! You can still shop through FB until the website is up and running or catch us at the many conventions and shows we will be working. It’s been a great 5 years and we would like to thank everyone for making it that way. If you have consignment items here you need to come pick them up during store hours or arrange a time with us. Once again, thank you guys for a great 5 years Downtown!”
