It’s the week that Alabama finally welcomes its first Chopt restaurant to The Summit. On Wednesday, February 24, Chopt will be celebrating its grand opening. As is custom with each new restaurant opening, the restaurant is giving back with 100% of sales being donated to the Exceptional Foundation the day before the grand opening.
The farm-to-fast-casual restaurant is sure to be a hit with healthy options like creative salads, wraps and warm bowls.
4. North Italia
Mark your calendars because yet another new addition is being added to The Summit. North Italia will debut its first Alabama location on March 3 with its grand opening.
North Italia is a modern Italian neighborhood restaurant. They’ll bring made-from-scratch Italian favorites to The Summit all week long, serving lunch and dinner seven days a week. You can expect flavorful dishes, pizzas and pasta on the menu, as well as a wide assortment of wines, beer and house-made cocktails.
