Salted Melon Market & Eatery will open a new location this spring in Phillips Place (6809 Phillips Place Court, Suite A), where it recently held a holiday popup.

Why it matters: South Charlotte marks the third location for the popular market from the team behind Reid's Fine Foods. The market also has spots in South End (the OG) and Eastover (its newest).

What to expect: Salted Melon's new 2,769-square-foot location will seat roughly 100 people (60 inside and 40 on a patio) and provide counter service.

The menu: The all-day menu will be similar to its other two locations with salads, bowls, sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, homemade cold-pressed juices, coffee, espresso, tea and pastries, plus grab-and-go market items.

Zoom out: Phillips Place, an upscale shopping destination that opened in 1997 as the city's first mixed-use development, has been undergoing significant changes as part of a $50 million makeover.

That evolution includes the addition of several new retailers, including Ladies of Lineage, RH Charlotte, Veronica Beard and J.Crew.

What's next: Construction on the new Salted Melon begins in February.
