The former Twin Peaks near Hanes Mall is not staying quiet for long. Jaggers, the fast‑casual burger‑and‑shake offshoot of Texas Roadhouse, is headed to Winston‑Salem, with city planning filings showing the brand has targeted the shuttered restaurant building for its next location. If it moves ahead as filed, the project would drop another national quick‑service name into one of the city’s busiest retail corridors.
The 1st Quarter 2026 development dashboard lists a $2.6 million permit for a Jaggers restaurant at 1915 Hampton Inn Court and identifies the work as a 3,500‑square‑foot new restaurant, according to City of Winston‑Salem development records. The filing shows up among the quarter's top permitted commercial projects and marks a concrete step toward build‑out for the concept.
Former Twin Peaks Site And Permitting
Commercial property listings identify 1915 Hampton Inn Court as the longtime Twin Peaks location and show the building marketed by brokers on commercial platforms such as Crexi. Crexi's materials describe an existing structure of roughly 8,100 square feet, while municipal records list the Jaggers permit as a 3,500‑square‑foot project, suggesting the space will be reworked or portioned for the new concept. Taken together, those documents indicate the property is shifting from listing mode toward active redevelopment.
Jaggers' Profile And Menu
Launched in 2014 by Texas Roadhouse founder Kent Taylor, Jaggers bills itself as a scratch‑made fast‑casual option built around double‑stacked burgers, hand‑breaded chicken sandwiches, fresh salads and hand‑spun milkshakes, according to the brand’s media materials. The company’s media kit highlights its made‑to‑order approach and calls out shakes such as Cookies 'n Cream and Banana Split as signature items, per Jaggers' media kit. The concept operates under the broader Texas Roadhouse umbrella as the company rolls it into new markets.
Where It Fits In North Carolina
Jaggers already lists locations in Fayetteville, Greenville and Jacksonville in North Carolina, and has been lining up additional sites, including a Raleigh drive‑thru, as part of a broader expansion, according to What Now Charlotte. Earlier this year, a Jaggers drive‑thru proposal at 985 Concord Parkway South surfaced as well, underscoring the brand’s push between the Charlotte and Raleigh markets, per drive-thru proposal. The Winston‑Salem permit follows that pattern and extends Jaggers' footprint in the state.
The company has not announced an official opening date for the Winston‑Salem location; for now, public permitting remains the clearest sign that the project will proceed. Permit values place the Jaggers entry among the city’s higher‑value commercial filings for the quarter, underscoring the size of the planned build‑out. More concrete timing should emerge once the company files final construction permits or issues a local announcement.
What It Means For Hanes Mall
Hanes Mall and the surrounding hotel cluster form a major retail hub for Winston‑Salem, and another quick‑service concept would widen dining options for shoppers, travelers and nearby workers. The corridor has seen several recent restaurant permitting moves, and the Jaggers build‑out would rank among the larger projects this quarter, according to local development records. If all goes as planned, local diners should see clearer signs of progress as contractors begin visible site work and the brand pins down an opening timeline.
