    A farm-to-table restaurant in Mooresville near Lake Norman is rebranding with a new name beginning Monday and will add breakfast plus other menu items, management said this week on the Facebook community group “Eat. Drink. Shop. Mooresville.”

    The former Johnny’s Farmhouse on River Highway (N.C. 150) is now Mooresville Family House. The new sign went up on the building Thursday and the restaurant has been closed a few days while crews continued refurbishing the interior.

    The restaurant will reopen at 7 a.m. Monday and will be open daily until 9 p.m., management said.

    “Breakfast classics and everything in between,” Mooresville Family House posted on Facebook Saturday afternoon, promising to post its menu later in the day.

    Mooresville Family House also has added vegetarian and weight-watching meals, according to its Facebook post earlier in the week.

    The restaurant has “upped the quality” of its food while reducing prices, according to the post.

    Mooresville Family House is affiliated with the China Grove Family House farm-to-table restaurant on Main Street in China Grove, Rowan County, management said.

    “Our new menu is something that our owner has worked extremely hard on!” according to the Mooresville Family House Facebook post. “With definite improvements! We have options for everyone. We have mainly focused on quality products and pricing for our customers!”

    A popular longtime bagel shop and deli in Huntersville plans a second location in the Lake Norman area this summer, its owner said Thursday.

    Bagel Bin & Deli intends to open in June or the beginning of July in the Harris Teeter-anchored Village at Byers Creek shopping center at N.C. 150 and Perth Road in Mooresville at the lake, owner Alex Cook told CharlotteFive.

    With its bagels, sandwiches, salads and hot daily meal specials, the Huntersville location of Bagel Bin & Deli has been a fixture in the Northcross Shopping Center on Sam Furr Road for 28 years.

    Cook, a longtime chef in Little Italy, New York, has owned the Bagel Bin for about a year and half. He said customers who drove from Mooresville urged him to consider a location in their town, and he looked at several. He liked the vibrancy of Byers Creek and its proximity (across N.C. 150) from Lake Norman High School.

    The Mooresville location will add homemade grab-and-go Italian meals for families of four — such as lasagna, meatballs and baked ziti, he said.

    Two of the three other chefs at Bagel Bin will head to the Mooresville location, Cook said.

    The new 1,300-square-foot location will have indoor seating for about 20, like the Huntersville location, and will have three or four outdoor tables, Cook said

    Cook moved from New York to Atlanta in 2008 to start a ministry that fed 650 people experiencing homelessness a day, he said.

    The Bagel Bin also features hot daily meal specials, such as Thursday’s roadhouse chili.

    “It’s a great business, a great product, and great customers,” he said.

  • This busy Lake Norman DMV office will close next week. What it means for drivers.

    This busy Lake Norman DMV office will close next week. What it means for drivers.

    [ad_1]

    A North Carolina license plate agency that often draws long lines out into the parking lot, will close next week after the current operator announced her retirement, a spokesman for the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles said Thursday.

    The busy agency, at 125 N. Main St. in Mooresville, is set to close on Feb. 14 at 5 p.m., NCDMV spokesperson John Brockwell said in a news release. Pamela Morgan, who’s been operating the agency since 2015, is retiring.

    The shutdown should be temporary, though.

    “A new agency will open under a selected contractor at a later date,” according to the news release.

    People who need services will need to visit a license plate agency in another town, Brockwell said in the news release.

    NCDMV oversees the state’s license plate agencies, but private businesses or local governments manage them, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

    In response to a public records request by the Observer, NCDOT released figures showing the Mooresville agency completed 165,094 total transactions from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, and 74,747 transactions between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2023.

    DMV license plate agencies near Mooresville

    NCDMV recommends people who use the Mooresville agency visit any of these five nearby agencies until the Mooresville location re-opens with a new contractor. Each is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, except for Huntersville, which operates from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays:

    ▪ Statesville, 121 W. Water St.

    ▪ Salisbury, 130 E. Kerr St.

    ▪ Kannapolis, 1509 Dale Earnhardt Blvd.

    ▪ Concord, 929-D Concord Pkwy. S.

    ▪ Huntersville Express, 12101 Mount Holly-Huntersville Rd..

    The state’s 117 license plate agencies offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations.

    Many of the services are available online, including property tax payments and registration renewals. Visit MyNCDMV.gov.
