Peaches Records operators clarified how they plan to use their conditional use approval to operate as a restaurant and serve alcoholic beverages Monday, June 3, at a Neighborhood Participation Program meeting. Peaches Records previously told the Uptown Messenger it would operate the historic Woolworth’s lunch counter in their Magazine Street location as a daily restaurant. Peaches says any daily operation is three to five years in the future. For now, the operators would like to use food and beverage service at the counter to host fundraisers and pop-ups featuring local chefs of different backgrounds and experience levels. “We’re not restaurateurs,” said Lee Rea, son of Peaches Records owner Shirani Rea.
