Craned your neck at a construction site lately? Today, we’re giving rapid-fire answers to readers’ burning development questions. Let’s get to the bottom of what’s going up.
“I am dying to know if anything is going to replace the demolished Wendy’s next to Cava!?” — Whitney D.
After being torn down by Helene, Wendy’s is rebuilding in its original location. In more fast food news, right across the street, a new Dunkin’ Donuts will replace the shuttered Long John Silver’s.
“What about the building at the corner of Swannanoa River and Tunnel roads? Where the mattress store was.” — Barbara M.
This area took quite the hit from Helene, forcing Asheville Beds and Ole Guacamoles out of the plaza. Now, the property is essentially a rebuild opportunity in a high-traffic area, listed for sale at $2,250,000. The listing notes that the shell of the building is still solid and can be used for future plans.
If you’re craving Mexican, you can visit Ole Guacamoles’ Black Mountain location while the crew works to reopen in Asheville in a new home on Sweeten Creek Road.
