A new Chapel Hill restaurant on the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets will open its doors to the public on Tuesday.

Seafood Destiny, a Greensboro-based eatery that cooks “soulful seafood,” announced its plan to move into the vacant storefront on 100 West Franklin Street under the name Seafood Destiny Express in July.

Owned by Anthony Knotts and created in 2019, Seafood Destiny is known for its pop-up events and popular food truck that travels throughout central North Carolina. The business’ menu includes seafood dishes like made-to-order crab legs, boils, lobster and shrimp plates.

Now, the company is set to open its second permanent location in downtown Chapel Hill this week. The soft opening for the restaurant will be at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, December 28.

The West Franklin Street space, which also is on the corner of Columbia Street in downtown Chapel Hill, most recently housed Lotsa Stone Fired Pizza. The pizza restaurant closed in April 2020 after being open for three years, citing challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Before then, Jasmin Medeterranian Bistro and a Qdoba Mexican Grill occupied the space.
