RALEIGH, N.C. – Brian Fork, Chief Executive Officer for Hurricanes Holdings, LLC, today announced that its new restaurant, The Local, will open on Thursday, October 17. The Local is located at 1235 Hurricane Alley Way, just across from the Lenovo Center.

The restaurant and bar will open with a limited menu as it continues to work through item creation and testing, and will accept customers on a reservations-only basis during this time.

“We are thrilled to be able to open The Local in conjunction with the Hurricanes’ 2024-25 NHL season and the State Fair,” said Fork. “We think fans are really going to enjoy the fresh menu and the refreshed interior of the restaurant, and look forward to receiving feedback as we launch.”

The Local’s working menu is available on their new website, which also gives fans the ability to purchase tailgate packages for events at Lenovo Center and NC State football games. The Local’s food truck will be present at all Hurricanes home games, near the South plaza. Additional events and information, including the return of the popular in-person Canes Corner radio show, will be announced soon.
