Shoto and Candy Factory Demolition Begins | Winston–Salem News

Ten weeks after a devastating fire tore through Uptown Lexington, the demolition of Shoto Japanese Restaurant and the Candy Factory begins this Monday — a slow, careful teardown brick by brick to make way for what’s next. The fire’s cause remains a mystery, with damage too extensive for investigators to pinpoint. While Main Street remains closed for safety, the owners are rallying the community to support local businesses. And there’s hope: Shoto plans to roll out a food truck this August, serving up favorites at local events — even repurposing salvaged bricks in their future design. The entire process could take months, but it’s a necessary step toward rebuilding. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
