Work underway at downtown Wilmington Waffle House

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Three years after plans were announced, construction appears to be underway for a Waffle House in downtown Wilmington.

In 2014, WilmingtonBiz.com reported a Waffle House was slated to open in the building once occupied by the SoapBox Laundro Lounge.

Work now appears to be happening at the North Front Street location.

There are currently 6 other Waffle House locations in the Wilmington area.

There is no official word yet on when the downtown location is set to open.
