Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers plans to open in mid-2018 in the shops on Henry Street Shops. With a 3,800-square-foot restaurant and 1,000 square feet of patio area, the Merchants Square restaurant will offer a menu of gourmet pizza, calzones, salads and craft beers.

Earlier this month, The Williamsburg Winery opened at 1,300-square-foot tasting room and wine bar at 427 W. Duke of Gloucester St. The new location follows a successful pop-up tasting room in Merchants Square during the last holiday season. Plans include outdoor seating and tasting flights, wine by the glass and small plates featuring local cheese and charcuterie.

Also coming this fall will be a permanent location for Modvintique Interiors in the Henry Street Shops at 110 S. Henry St. It will be operated interior decorator and designer Debbie McCarter.
