CharGrill Coming to UpTowne

A restaurant that has been a favorite for decades in the Raleigh area is opening a location in Uptowne High Point.

Char Grill, which was founded in Raleigh and has been in business since 1960, will open on N. Main Street near Lexington Avenue in a building previously occupied by an Armadillo Grill restaurant.

Char Grill features open-flame cooked hamburger steak sandwiches, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, French fries and milkshakes. The High Point franchise at 1525 N. Main St. will be the seventh location of the Char Grill chain and the first one outside the Research Triangle region.

The High Point franchisees, Scott Hiatt and Jeff Hunt, are restaurant operators and entrepreneurs in the greater High Point area. Hiatt, a native of High Point, said the Char Grill is the first joint restaurant venture between him and Hunt.
