New in Cary: food permits for Roxy's Bar & Grill, Miss Chang An, Qdoba at Parkside and Pro's Epicurean downtown, and plans for a bank at Fenton.

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Rebuilt each month. This roundup comes from public records: Wake County’s food establishment permits and the Town of Cary’s permit applications and development plans on its open data portal. A permit is not an opening date; check with the business before you go.

Cary does not publish a list of new business licenses, so we read the public records that show new businesses arriving: food permits from Wake County Environmental Health, which every restaurant, food stand and food truck needs before it serves the public, and the Town of Cary’s building and sign permits for commercial spaces getting new tenants.

How to read these records

Town permit records name the property owner and contractor, not the business moving in, so we list addresses until the business announces itself. “In review” means the town has not yet issued the permit. Some applications are withdrawn or canceled; we leave those out. Look up any address on the town’s permit applications dataset.

What this means for you

  • A county food permit is the clearest public sign a restaurant is about to open.
  • Curious about a storefront? Search its address in the town’s permit data.
  • Opening a business? The town offers a free development liaison through 311.
