Carrboro is in for a bit of a shake-up. They've lost a few businesses recently, a few more are leaving soon, and there are rumors about more leaving/closing soon-ish.

Ah, the former Andrews-Riggsbee location. Will this prime real estate be packaged with Roberson Square, or eliminated from the overall design? If pre-packaged, this would seem to be a huge monkey-wrench. I was hoping to see that development go forward much more swiftly than 301 East Main ... but that particular address/site has always had problems ranging from environmental to contractual.

As I understand it, the only thing for sale is 201 S Gboro St (formerly Andrews Riggsbee). That is not to be confused with the project at the entrance to the Roberson Place neighborhood (the long-ago farmers market site). That site is where The Alberta has been approved to be built.

The owner has not put forward an asking price - from what I hear second hand.
