New in Charlotte this fall: Mexilove Tacos and Tequila on South Tryon, Livewell Animal Urgent Care in South End, and October ribbon cuttings in Ballantyne and Steele Creek.

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. This roundup is rebuilt each month. Openings come from ribbon cuttings on the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce calendar and from each business’s own announcement. A ribbon cutting marks an opening the business has announced; it is not an endorsement.

New shops, restaurants and services that marked their opening in Charlotte in September, and ribbon cuttings scheduled for the rest of October.
