Yes! They didn’t mention anything about tax penalties. I think it’s listed as a gift?

Damn, I remember applying for a phone banker position at the one on WT Harris a few years ago after graduating but ended up going elsewhere. A lot of people work in that department but it can also be easily outsourced. Im sure quite a few of them will be axed.

Was parked in food lion parking lot behind the Hardee’s at WT Harris and The Plaza(intersection with QT, Shell, Hardee’s, and another Shell) when a fair one broke out
I respect this.
Handle your problems with your fists, and live to see another day.Kind of sad last night watching the local news reporting on a homicide, and seeing this woman on the local news telling the community "put the guns away"

Miketa and Joseph “Jay” Davis are unstoppable.
When COVID-19 tried to cancel their wedding plans, they pulled together a last-minute wedding on the lake.
When many Charlotte restaurants were closing, Lulu’s Maryland Style Chicken and Seafood — the couples’ first restaurant — was serving lines of cars that wrapped around the building.
Now, Lulu’s, which recently participated in Charlotte’s Black Restaurant Week, will celebrate its one-year anniversary on Nov. 1, complete with expanded hours seven days per week, beginning at 11 a.m. And that’s not all — the Davises also announced a new location, set to open in early 2021 on Central Avenue in Plaza Midwood.
“We did our first year through COVID-19 and survived,” Jay said.
“It’s amazing,” Miketa said. “Especially in the restaurant business, to make it to one year and to have the success that we’ve had even through COVID-19.”
‘A getaway within the city’
The couples’ tremendous success can be attributed to hard work, good food and having an eye on the future.
“I’m always looking for ideas for different things we can do next, ways we can branch off and do the next best thing,” Jay said.

When Jay first moved to Charlotte, he told Miketa that he wanted the building directly across the street from where he lived on Central Avenue.
“Even then I had no idea what was going on with Central Avenue. I just wanted to put something business-wise over there,” Jay said.
While that building is no longer standing, the new Lulu’s location is directly across the street from Jay’s original vision.
“He’s a very big idea dreamer, always looking steps ahead,” Miketa said. “One of the things that he said even through COVID-19 was that he really wanted to have six or seven locations in Charlotte or the surrounding areas in three years. And I think for him, when we found this spot, it was just perfect based on the concept.”

The new location will add to an already-successful menu and concept with brunch offerings.
“One of the things that a lot of people don’t know is when we first opened up [the original] location, we were talking about trying to do breakfast or brunch concept,” Miketa said. “But the building was way too small. And we were just starting out — we never owned a restaurant. So I think so when we saw this [new] location, we knew a lot of people brunch on Central, where there’s a lot of the best spots to go to. And so when we saw that, our concept for having brunch — or being able to bring that concept back — was a good thing.”
The new menu will feature the top sellers from the original Lulu’s location and will add items that cater to a more relaxed brunch and dinner feel.
“This changed the atmosphere a little bit, but [with] some of the same favorites,” Jay said. “We’re keeping our roots the same.”
And the space?
“The best way I could put it is kind of jazzy. Calm, relaxing,” Jay said. “A getaway within the city.”

The Central Avenue Lulu’s will be double the size of the original Lulu’s location. Expect indoor and outdoor seating.
The Davises are most excited about tweaking the recipes and bringing the new concept to life.
“Even though it’s still a Lulu’s, it’s a new venture,’ Jay said. “So there’s this level of excitement of building this next thing and seeing how it goes.”
Jay likened the current state of the restaurant as the “pregnancy phase.”
“We can’t wait to meet the baby,” he said, as Miketa laughed.

The couple is excited that the new concept will allow them to interact more with the customers and staff, given the larger size.
“I’m actually most excited to live in the space of something we created,” Miketa said. “I think one of the biggest things with Lulu’s to begin with is that we created it because it was a piece of Maryland — a piece of us — that we didn’t necessarily have here, but that we wanted to share with everyone else. I think now having this space will work,” Miketa said.
“Instead of making reservations to go to dinner or brunch somewhere else, we’re going to add our own place and our own spot where we can go and we can enjoy the atmosphere and the food and the drinks,” Miketa said. “And to know it’s something that we created. I think that’s amazing.”

Also, Black Restaurant Week is still going on so that might be another reason why they were packed

It’s a big city, truth be told if you seeing same chicks. Your not really moving around like that.
