Nando’s Peri-Peri is reopening in the Hoffman Town Center this summer.
The South African multinational fast food chain opened at 702 King Street in 2010, and closed in March after its lease expired. At the time, staff told ALXnow that it’s challenging to do business in a building that is 186 years old.
The new store at 2462 Mandeville Lane will be able to accommodate up to 10 staffers at a time and about 130 patrons, according to a special use permit that was filed with the City. The restaurant will have 78 indoor seats
This August, Nando’s will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
