Following three restaurant openings in south Charlotte’s The Bowl at Ballantyne development, two more have announced summer debuts.

Bossy Beulah’s Chicken Shack and Rooster’s Wood Fired Kitchen will open in July and August, respectively, next to each other at 15110 Bowl St., Charlotte-based Noble Food & Pursuits said Tuesday in a news release.

Both restaurants are owned by Noble Food & Pursuits, which is owned by Jim Noble. Other restaurants owned by Noble are Copain, The Jimmy Pastaria and Pizzeria, The King’s Kitchen and Noble Smoke Barbecue.

The Bowl at Ballantyne is a 20-acre project featuring more than 90,000 square feet of retail, a second apartment tower and new roads with a “Main Street” feel.

In the last month, three other restaurants have opened at The Bowl: Phoenix-based Flower Child, followed by North Italia and The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten.

It’s all part of Northwood Investors LLC’s Ballantyne Reimagine mixed-use development that includes an amphitheater, greenway, retail and apartments.
