Prime Only Closes Its Doors!



UPDATE: With further investigating (IE, simply calling the restaurant to have someone tell me "We're closed for good."), Prime Only is officially closed beyond re-opening.

Its a sad day for Glenwood South dining, that's for sure.

"The owner of the restaurant, located off of Glenwood Avenue, blamed tough economic times for the closure. " - WRAL.com

With that said, the speculation of financial issues proved to be true, unfortunately.

Now the harder part will be to find something adequate to fill the space. Its a GREAT location, but an insanely large space for a non-chain (or for a small chain) to fit into. Plus, with a supposed estimated $12,000 monthly price tag, it may make even more challenges to fill the space. A good idea would be to separate the restaurant area from The Rat Pack Lounge in the back to make two different tenants. We'll see.
