New Spanish Tapas Restaurant Opens After Renovation of Familiar East Franklin Street Space
Posted Sep 28, 2024
When Ye Olde Waffle Shoppe closed at 173 East Franklin Street in 2020, many Chapel Hillians, tourists and former Carolina students were despondent. After years of no business in the storefront, though, patrons can now walk in to a transformed space run. Próximo, a Spanish tapas and wine bar, held its opening for customers on September 20.
