Restaurant Closure, Development Resubmission, and Delivery Truck Incident in Irmo
What happened
Que Bueno Mexican Bar and Grill permanently closed its Irmo location, which opened in 2022 as the family-owned chain's first site. Separately, a proposed Lexington development tied to town councilmen was resubmitted under a different applicant name following ethics complaints. An awning at an Irmo assisted living facility collapsed after a FedEx delivery truck struck it, causing water damage.
