According to this afternoon’s Daily Mail, Charleston Town Center food fixture Bennigan’s is set to re-open on October 6th. This is good news for a Town Center mall that simply ain’t what it used to be.

As the story goes, the corporate parent company that owned the chain recently filed for bankruptcy and closed all of its restaurants. However, some 160-plus, franchisee-owned restaurants have remained open. The owner of two quasi-local Bennigan’s franchises – located in Point Pleasant, W.Va. and Athens, OH – purchased the Town Center locale and is currently remodeling the kitchen. The menu, however, will remain the same.

Quite a lucky turn of events for a place that seemed doomed to a Gratzi-esque fate. (I’m still waiting for a Cheesecake Factory to claim that space!)
