New restaurants come to Franklin Street
Posted Jun 25, 2024
In May, Cosmic Cantina moved from its location on 128 E. Franklin St. to 118 E. Franklin St. to expand services and make way for developments related to UNC’s Campus Master Plan. “The biggest change is that we're a storefront. Now we're not so much a hole in the wall,” said Cosmic Cantina manager Yeshua Sanchez. The business is now located on the street.
