MorHood LLC plans to open a second location of Crave Kitchen and Bar in Meridian by fall 2027. The project aims to accommodate growth following the success of the original site.

Why it matters

The expansion follows strong community support since the brand opened its first restaurant in 2020. It represents a significant increase in local hiring and dining capacity.

The new restaurant building will span 8,539 square feet within the Ten Mile Crossing development. The facility is designed to include a bar, dining room, private dining area, and an enclosed patio.

The players

MorHood LLC

This entity is the parent company and owner behind the Crave Kitchen and Bar restaurant brand.

City of Meridian

This municipal government agency serves as the local authority responsible for the approval of site plans for new commercial developments.

The details

The restaurant is being developed after MorHood LLC submitted a site plan to the City of Meridian for approval. The brand is shifting its focus toward this expansion while confirming that Crave Delivery no longer operates in the Treasure Valley.

Timeline

  1. Crave opened its first location at the Bridges at Lakemor development in 2020.

  2. The new Meridian restaurant is slated to open in fall 2027.

Culture Shift

This project reflects the broader shift toward expanding suburban dining hubs that prioritize large, multi-functional spaces over traditional footprints. It signals a move away from secondary delivery-only services toward centralized, physical dining experiences.

Residents can expect 100 new employment opportunities in the area as the project reaches its fall 2027 opening target. The addition of a new private dining area and patio will provide new options for local gatherings and events.

The takeaway

The expansion demonstrates the long-term impact of community patronage on local business growth. Residents looking for new dining options should monitor the progress of the Ten Mile Crossing development as the opening date approaches.
