CRU Food & Wine Bar, one of The Summit at Fritz Farm’s inaugural businesses, permanently closed its doors this weekend.

Not all news from The Summit is sad news. The outdoor shopping center has a few new permanent + temporary storefronts, and seasonal attractions.

  • Southern Tide celebrated the grand opening of its first Lexington location earlier this month. Think: preppy yet comfortable.
  • Schiffman’s Jewelers is expected open in the former Babalu spot next Saturday, Dec. 7 just in time to give holiday shoppers a chance to shine.
  • lululemon recently moved to the former World of Beer location nearly tripling its storefront (and its offerings).
  • Friday Night Flurries returns each Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. bringing a little holiday magic and snow.
