2. Concord Maple Street Location to Become Biscuit Belly's First North Carolina Conversion (whatnow.com) — A Maple Street Biscuit Company on Christenbury Parkway in Concord will be converted into Biscuit Belly's first North Carolina location in late fall 2026, without closing the restaurant.

ISP Roundup: Kinetic passes new milestones in Concord, North Carolina (bbcmag.com) — Kinetic has expanded its fiber network by more than 20% in Concord, now passing over 38,000 homes and promising even more build-out ahead.
