New York Butcher Shoppe, a high-end store at Selwyn Avenue and Colony Road, is closing this weekend.
The store carried meats, prepared foods, sandwiches and deli items such as wine and cheese.
Owner Jed Kampe said he plans to open a new restaurant in May, at an undisclosed location, that will also feature a butcher counter. He plans to serve hamburgers made from beef ground fresh on site daily.
"There will be a lot of changes mostly in the dine-in aspect, but nothing will change with regards to only using the highest quality beef, chicken, pork and lamb," said Kampe, in a statement. "I can’t thank everyone enough who have supported our current location, but in order to take this to a new level, I simply need more space with a true kitchen."
Kampe said the location will be announced soon, and he hopes to stay in the immediate area.
The New York Butcher Shoppe was founded in 1999 in South Carolina, and there are a dozen franchised locations throughout the Southeast, according to the company's website.
