Popbar recently added an 800-square-foot store in Concord Mills, about 17 miles northeast of uptown Charlotte. The shop, across from Sunglass Hut in the Concord mall, joins the area’s first Popbar location, which opened in Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood in late 2016.
The Concord store is operated by franchisee Dr. Raghava Induru, who is eyeing Davidson for his second location, said Popbar co-founder Reuben BenJehuda. While a specific site hasn’t yet been nailed down, the current plan is to open there in 2020, BenJehuda said.
