Reid's eyes more expansion as specialty grocer opens second uptown store

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Reid’s Fine Foods has expanded its presence in uptown Charlotte with a second store.

The specialty grocer opened a roughly 2,600-square-foot location on Thursday at 135 Levine Avenue of the Arts, between Fin & Fino and Starbucks.

It marks the second location for Reid’s uptown in just over a year. The specialty grocer returned to uptown in July 2019, with a location at the corner of Trade and Tryon streets.

“We think the demand is there. Our plan was always to have two stores uptown,” says Tom Coker, managing partner.

Coker is eyeing sites for potential expansion north and south of Charlotte, too. He sees room for one to two more locations in the market. He’s also considering stores in the Raleigh, Charleston and Greenville, South Carolina markets as well as in Atlanta.
