The 5th Street Group today announced on social media that they are changing the name of 5Church, their popular downtown Charleston restaurant, to Church and Union. The group made the same change to their Charlotte location.
5Church Charlotte and 5Church Charleston will officially retire their names on December 31st, 2021, and reopen for the new year on January 1, 2022, as Church and Union Charlotte and Church and Union Charleston – complete with new logos, signage, and refreshed menus.
“5Church has been an extraordinary brand, and we are very proud how far it has come,” said 5th Street Group partners Patrick Whalen, Alejandro Torio, and Chef Jamie Lynch. “Our success has been a testament to the brand itself, our guests and the people who have been part of its story. The 5th Street Group intends to continue expanding this story by moving on to Church and Union; a brand that, while in its infancy, has all the makings of something truly inspiring. We hope you will come along for the ride. CU soon.”
The Church and Union name is already being used by the group’s Nashville restaurant, which opened earlier this year. The name was inspired by the Nashville restaurant's location, which is situated in between Church Street and Union Street.
5th Street Group also owns and operates Tempest in Charleston, La Belle Helene in Charlotte, and Ophelia's, which is opening in Nashville in 2022.
