The wood-fired ovens at Brixx are now blazing in Concord, as the pizza chain rolls out its first Charlotte-area franchise with an eye on more growth to come.
Brixx Wood Fired Pizza opened June 22 in a new 3,500-square-foot space at 2405 Herrons Nest Place NW in Christenbury Village, near Concord Mills. The restaurant brings another sit-down pizza and full-bar option to the development and is layering in grand opening events throughout its first week. The franchise owner behind the Concord spot is already planning three additional Charlotte-area locations.
What Opened
The 3,500-square-foot Brixx location is now operating at 2405 Herrons Nest Place NW in Christenbury Village, a short hop from Concord Mills, according to the Charlotte Business Journal. The outlet published photos of the storefront and the interior, showing off the casual sit-down setup built around the brand’s wood-fired pizza focus.
Brand Message
Per PR Newswire, the Concord debut is the first new Brixx restaurant to open in more than five years. The company framed the move as a restart of its growth story, quoting CEO Scott Isaacs as saying, “This opening is more than just a new restaurant - it's a celebration of our brand's legacy and future.”
The release notes that the Concord location includes Brixx’s signature wood-fired oven, a full-service bar, and a menu that runs from pizzas and wings to salads and sandwiches, aiming to cover both quick family dinners and longer hangouts at the bar.
Local Growth Plans
The franchise owner behind the Concord restaurant told the Charlotte Business Journal that three more Charlotte-area locations are in the works. If those plans come together, it would mark a relatively fast local buildout for a single franchisee that is just now getting the first area store open.
A Shifting Regional Footprint
The Concord opening follows a quiet stretch for Brixx and comes on the heels of several franchise closures in the Triad earlier this year, leaving the chain’s regional footprint in motion. Local coverage has documented signs posted at former Brixx locations and tracked those Triad shutdowns, underscoring how the brand is closing some doors while trying to open new ones in markets like the Charlotte area.
Jobs And Grand Opening Plans
Brixx said the Concord restaurant will create new local jobs and will lean into community partnerships and opening-week activities, according to PR Newswire. The company’s approach ties those events to its stated focus on giving back in the communities where it opens.
Industry listings flagged a June 23 grand opening event, along with a promotion that offered free wings and giveaways for the first 50 guests who showed up with a canned-food donation, per Restaurant News Resource. The food-drive tie-in reflects the kind of local outreach Brixx has said it wants to build around new locations.
Menu And Where To Find It
The Concord restaurant is serving the full Brixx lineup of wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and a craft beverage program from the bar. For current hours, menus, and reservation details, see the Concord location page on the company’s site: Brixx Concord.
