CHARLOTTE — Popbar will close its second — and final — Charlotte location later this month.
Franchisee Kia Lyons says that 1,100-square-foot shop at 3123 N. Davidson St. in NoDa will close on Dec. 14. It serves handcrafted gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt on a stick.
Lyons and husband Clarence first signed on with the New York City-based brand in 2014. She says they’ve chosen not to renew their 10-year franchise agreement.

“It’s just time,” Kia Lyons says. “Us closing isn’t a bad thing. It’s just the end of a chapter. There are more chapters to come. More opportunities to come. There’s just something else next.”
