New additions to the Simon Property-owned mall will include Suffolk Punch Brewing’s second location, and a new, state-of-the-art play area.

The redevelopment period will see extensive upgrades to the West Plaza, located adjacent to The Container Store and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Intending to offer a better shopping experience for both its loyal visitors and existing retailers, the newly-enhanced mall will be home to Suffolk Punch Brewing’s second location, inclusive of an open-air pavilion and situated next to a beautifully designed greenscape and stage.

Construction for new Suffolk Punch Brewing, which will anchor the West Plaza, is expected to begin in early 2022. It will feature a nearly 400 seat full-service taphouse, restaurant, and coffee bar. Two additional free-standing bars will also bring together over 20 craft beers, hand-made cocktails, house seltzers and wines.

“Charlotte-area shoppers expect first-class amenities, and that is exactly what this transformational redevelopment at SouthPark will deliver,” said Randy Thomas, General Manager at SouthPark. “The addition of Suffolk Punch Brewing and the new play area are just two examples of the enhancement efforts at SouthPark, and Simon’s industry-leading dedication to entertaining families in innovative and exceptional ways.”
