Veteran Charlotte restaurateur snags space in SouthPark

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A SouthPark location of Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse is in the works.

Veteran restaurateur Rob Duckworth confirmed he’s snagged a nearly 9,000-square-foot space at 4625 Piedmont Row Drive. That space was formerly home to TacoMac, which closed in May 2019.

“We’re excited to be down there,” he said. “I feel like it could fill a void.”

Duckworth said timing for that restaurant to open will depend on the pandemic.

SouthPark is a good market for the concept and the timing was right; the deal was in the works before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. He said the potential reward outweighs the risk of moving forward with a new restaurant.
