A Chapel Hill steakhouse damaged by the significant flooding from Tropical Depression Chantal is preparing to welcome patrons back next week.

Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill at University Place mall shared it will be reopening for business on Monday, August 11 after being closed since the historic storm on July 6. The self-described upscale restaurant is known for its gourmet menu and spin on Southern classics, and is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

In addition to Stoney River, some of the other University Place businesses that suffered water damage from the flash flooding are also open again. The Planet Fitness location on the northern side of the main mall building, as well as the First Horizon Bank close to South Estes Drive, reopened in mid-July. Style Brows Threading Studio, which was an interior business next to Silverspot Cinema, reopened on July 14— but at a temporary location inside Sola Salon Studios at Rams Plaza. And the WakeMed 365 clinic also reopened this week after going through restoration work needed from flood damage.

As of Friday, Silverspot Cinemas and Chase Bank remain closed for repairs. Local jeweler and gift shop Gerrie & Co. may be permanently closed — which was the business’ plan after Alfredo’s Pizza Villa moves out of the central mall building and into a business space in the 900 Willow building.

Another flood-impacted Chapel Hill business just relocated to 900 Willow: Olmaz Jewelers. As a tenant of the other hard-hit Chapel Hill mall from floodwaters, Eastgate Crossing off of East Franklin Street, the jewelry shop opened the temporary location on Monday next to Palette & Parlor and facing Willow Drive. The business hours will remain the same as they were before: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

One of the mall’s newer tenants is also now welcoming customers. Solidcore, a Pilates workout studio, started its soft opening on July 22 and is ramping up its class options. The growing fitness chain is in one of the new business spaces on the east end of the central mall building, which was constructed in University Place’s latest phase of redevelopment.
