A lot of news on the business front today, some well-sourced but awaiting official confirmation:
New Bern Marketplace, the up-and-coming shopping center between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Trent Road, may well wind up as a dining destination.
Columbia Development, the developer of the large shopping center, has not updated its tenant list (which already includes a Hobby Lobby, Five Below, Academy Sports, Ross, and, at 100,000 square feet, the Mother of All Harris Teeters), but reliable sources say it will be the location for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and LongHorn Steakhouse.
All three restaurants are in New Bern’s vicinity (Greenville, Morehead City, Jacksonville), but will be new to New Bern. There is a Five Guys aboard Cherry Point, but not accessible to people who don’t have access to the Marine Corps air base.
Within the massive outdoor mall’s orbit will be a new Sonic Drive-in restaurant (New Bern’s second location) next to Rite Aid, across the MLK from New Bern Marketplace, and a new Paula’s Pizza location off the MLK near New Bern High School.

Need a Sheetz badly, a Steak N Shake would be nice as would a Noodles N Company. not another Sonic!
For the best Italian in New Bern, you gotta go to La Cosetta!
What about a new movie Theater for New Bern? I’m excited about the prospects of all new restaurants...it’s about time!
I wish we would get a Home Depot, Cosco, and a real Dairy Queen.
It's a shame we don't have as many good fresh seafood restaurants here, being so close to the sea! A seafood buffet or such would be nice. Also, how about a new theater that shows good movies (not just Transformers, etc.) plus a bowling alley for something to do here in the winter!
Neuse Cinema is being upfit with leather seats and new interior!
Would have been better to have put all this out at the Craven 30 location. This is going to be a traffic nightmare.
I agree, bug waste of money
Can we please get a cracker barrel
We need a Trader Joe's!!!
How about a Krispy Kreme...
