CHARLOTTE — Kasia Bednarz wasn’t exposed to fast food much while growing up. Now, she’s working to change the perception of what it can be. She’s CEO and founder of FARE, a growing Chicago-based chain of restaurants that dials in on healthy, delicious and produce-driven food in a fast-casual setting.
FARE’s first location in the Charlotte market is on track to open in early fall. Its 1,500-square-foot space, with outdoor seating along Tryon Street, is under construction.
Bednarz is already looking toward expansion here, targeting Plaza Midwood for her next Charlotte restaurant.
