Two business owners who have roots in the Chatham community plan to open the doors soon to their family-friendly, Chatham Plaza restaurant, "The Shop." The eatery is going to be in the 2,300-square-foot space for a long-term lease in the Levin Management Corporation retail center on Main Street, in Café Villa's former space.

"Chatham Plaza shoppers and local residents alike have long appreciated the presence of an Italian restaurant at this location," said Kendal Hand-Freda, leasing representative for Levin Management Corporation, in a news release, who negotiated the long-term lease.
