Among string of closures, landmark Franklin Street businesses survive
Posted Oct 4, 2015
Angelo Marrone, owner of Italian Pizzeria III, is relieved his restaurant is still operating on Franklin Street in the face of the string of closures the downtown district has suffered in recent years. “Thank God we’re still here,” Marrone said. “That makes me feel good.” In the ever-changing face of Franklin Street, only a few familiar establishments, like Carolina Coffee Shop and Sutton’s Drug Store, have weathered the closures alongside IP3.
