SHORT PUMP, Va. — A popular chef and restaurateur is doubling up in Short Pump.

Peter Chang plans to open a new restaurant at 11408 W. Broad St. in the Short Pump Village Shopping Center, just a few doors down from his existing Chinese eatery that he opened as his first in Richmond in 2012.

Nancy Wan, Chang’s lawyer, confirmed her client’s expansion plans in an email.

“We will provide noodles and dumplings, etc. at this new store, which is a totally different style from existing Peter Chang (restaurants),” Wan said. “We are working on it.”

The 3,500-square-foot space has been vacant since last year, when the short-lived Richmond incarnation of Bella’s Italian restaurant shut down.
