The Lost Cajun, a family-friendly restaurant with a focus on authentic Cajun food served with Southern hospitality, is set to expand its North Carolina footprint even further.
The Louisiana-based franchisor that focuses on providing a down-home atmosphere and southern hospitality you can feel is coming to Huntersville later this year.
The new restaurant - located by the fountain in the NorthCross Shopping Center at 9709-A Sam Furr Road - will be owned and operated by Steve Galloway, who less than two months ago signed a development agreement for a total of six restaurants throughout the Western North Carolina area.
Galloway worked with Steven Turner of Turner Commercial Properties in Charlotte to secure the site. Tom Walter of the Parker Walter Group in Sarasota, Florida is providing architectural and project management services to build out the restaurant.
Galloway will also be operating a food truck from his location. The food truck will begin introducing The Lost Cajun menu to customers this Fall as it caters at various events throughout the area.
“I am excited about bringing The Lost Cajun’s culture to the greater Charlotte area,” Steve said. “After dining at The Lost Cajun’s Greenville location with my family, I couldn’t stop thinking about the delicious Cajun cooking and southern hospitality I experienced.
The authentic taste and smell of the food is what stood out to me, but the outstanding customer service interactions amongst guests and employees was the kicker.
It’s exactly the kind of Southern hospitality I was raised around and I knew I had to bring this amazing concept to my community.”
Somewhat of a lost Cajun himself, Galloway grew up in New Orleans, worked in local restaurants and began his professional restaurant career in Lafayette, Louisiana while in college.
He knows authentic Cajun and New Orleans foods and appreciates Southern hospitality.
