Business Roundup

Some of you have noticed the opening, closing and remodeling of businesses in Cape Girardeau and Jackson, so I thought I would provide an update of what's been happening around town:

Benny Hajdari confirmed the opening of Napoli's Italian Restaurant at 1815 E. Jackson Blvd. in Jackson. Hajdari is from Albania and is the owner of the restaurant. He said Napoli's will open sometime in the beginning of October.

Jason Coalter, owner of the building that will house El Sol at 1105 Broadway in Cape Girardeau, is leasing the building to a private owner. Coalter said the Mexican restaurant will open in early fall, and customers can expect a fun and energetic atmosphere. He said more details of the restaurant will be released soon.

Owner of Cosmo Nails and Spa Oanh Le said Nail Pro, 336 N. Kingshighway St. in Cape Girardeau, is closed, and the same family opened Cosmo Nails at 465 S. Mt. Auburn Road in Cape Girardeau. Oanh said Cosmo Nails will accept gift certificates from Nail Pro, as long as they are not expired.

Red Lobster, 3269 William St. in Cape Girardeau, has begun a seven-week remodeling process that will take place from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily, that way the restaurant still is able to serve guests during regular business hours, said Bob, the staffing and training manager at Red Lobster. Bob said the remodel is a "complete facelift," and will feature new outdoor and indoor decor, as well as new seating that can accommodate more guests.
