Potbelly Sandwich restaurant coming to Mayfaire
[WWAY] After months of anticipation, construction is starting on the Potbelly Sandwich Works location at Mayfaire. The first Cape Fear-area location opened in Wilmington in July 2020, at 2515 S. 17th St., Unit A. near the New Hanover Regional Medical Center. The second location was announced in November 2022. Also in the works is a location in Greenville, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. Potbelly Sandwich Shop, a national chain based in Chicago, is expected to open 13 new locations to open across North and South Carolina.

First Costco, Now Walmart offering gold bars
Walmart capitalizing on the recent news that Costco sold $100 million in gold bars? The retail giant is now offering gold and silver bullion from APMEX, US Mint and other sources. Sign of the times or is the tide turning with our financial system? The forming of BRICS, value of Bitcoin and inflation rates are all likely related. Definitely worth watching gold and silver prices.
