News capsule

Amelie’s new Uptown location is opening December 1. They held a friends and family event last night (November 23) and we got to hang out in the new space.

It’s massive. It’s beautiful. It’s everything Amelie’s lovers want it to be. This is the type of project that will take Uptown from good to great. Huge win for Charlotte. Well done Amelie’s management, well done.
