Brothers Will and Joseph Jeffers, the culinary minds behind Stanbury, are expanding their restaurant’s footprint in Raleigh, North Carolina. They will take over the adjacent space at 936 N. Blount St., previously occupied by Escazu Chocolates, which has relocated. This new 1,600-square-foot area will facilitate an expansion of their operations, enhancing the dining experience for patrons.
The upcoming expansion is expected to feature a larger kitchen and a cocktail bar, complemented by a light menu. According to the Triangle Business Journal, the initiative aims to strengthen Stanbury’s commitment to offering seasonal dishes that spotlight produce sourced from local farmers. The restaurant’s philosophy emphasizes community, as highlighted on their website: “Stanbury is a place for coming together and sharing — to assimilate and celebrate our community.”
Enhancing Culinary Offerings and Community Engagement
Stanbury’s menu reflects the seasonal availability of ingredients, aiming to capture the unique qualities and mood of each day. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also enriches the dining experience by providing fresh, vibrant dishes to guests.
As the Jeffers brothers navigate the permitting process for the new space, the timeline for the expansion’s completion remains unclear. However, the anticipation surrounding this development signals a commitment to enhancing the restaurant’s offerings and further engaging with the local community.
The expansion of Stanbury represents a significant step in the growth of the restaurant, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of the Mordecai neighborhood. With the addition of new features, the Jeffers brothers hope to create an even more inviting atmosphere for diners and a stronger connection to the local food scene.
