Earlier this year, Fort Liberty welcomed Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Sbarro and Panera to the post’s food courts. Since then, two retailers have opened and several shops and restaurants are on the way.
Among them are a cigar shop, a pet kennel, two restaurants and a furniture store.
Here’s a look at the new additions and what’s coming soon to Fort Liberty’s dining and shopping scene.
