<p class="has-drop-cap">If you are like many in Beaufort clamoring for more dining options, Thursday’s announcement by the city about future tenants coming to Beaufort Plaza should interest you.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two new restaurants – Chipotle Mexican Grill and Five Guys, both long-rumored additions – are among four new tenants coming to Beaufort Plaza work as continues on the Publix, set to open there in 2022.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chipotle will reside next to Ameris Bank, while Five Guys will be across from McDonald’s. It’s the first location for both in the City of Beaufort. Both are expected to open in in late fall of 2022.</p>
