Here’s the back story to last week’s news that The Spirited Cyclist plans to open later this summer in a long-vacant storefront at 129 N. Main St., next to Davidson College’s Cats on Main shop. The deal to open up another unused space in the block owned by Dr. Tom Clark and Joe Poteat, was brokered by The Stewart Group, a new Davidson-based commercial real estate firm.
The Stewart Group was formed earlier this year to become “Davidson’s one-stop commercial real estate firm.” Its principals are David Stewart, Michael Orlando, and Greg Fallon.

Bob Rusher Jr. describes the business not as a typical convenience store, but as an “urban market.” The site includes the food market, offices, and gasoline pumps under a canopy. And other details stand out, from its prepared foods and ice cream right down to the environmentally friendly car wash out in the parking lot that recycles waste water.

Should Davidson allow drive-up windows at restaurants and shops? The Town Board on Tuesday put that topic on the table for a lively discussion that was part history and part debate over what kind of town Davidson wants to be.
Davidson Town Manager Leamon Brice told the board developers have asked recently whether the town might change its rules to allow drive-throughs. Proposals could be on the way for the Exit 30 area or for yet-to-be designed projects on the horizon in the N.C. 73 area east of town.
