CONWAY — A 12,000-square-foot Greek restaurant featuring a sports bar and limited charitable gaming is planned for the former Shurfine grocery and an adjacent store in the plaza at 234 White Mountain Highway.
The town of Conway issued a building permit March 26 for the renovation of the former grocery store to a sports bar with charitable gaming.
