Mike’s town redevelopment has also brought new businesses outside of his ventures, with Prime & Pint – Butchery and Public House restaurant and butcher shop opening on March 30.
On June 15, Build A Donut Bakery, abbreviated to BAD Bakery, opened.
A source told The US Sun about new construction: “They are building a six-story condominium with a restaurant.
“The city is changing quickly. It is a change that is welcomed by some citizens, but rejected by other members of the community.”
“It’s interesting because a lot of people don’t want change and some do, so we’re in that flux,” a city source said of Mike bringing business to Columbia.
