Daily Kitchen in Carytown Set to Close and Rebrand Next Month

The Daily Kitchen & Bar will close its Carytown location next month to make way for a new dining concept, according to Richmond BizSense.

The transition marks a significant shift for the prominent corner at 2934 W. Cary St., a space that has anchored the neighborhood's dining scene for years. While the current health-focused brand departs, the ownership group plans to introduce a new restaurant identity in its place, according to reporting from the newswire.

Transitioning the Carytown Space

The closure affects only the Carytown storefront. According to Richmond BizSense, the restaurant's ownership intends to keep the location within their portfolio while pivoting away from The Daily brand at this specific site. The new concept remains under development, and the owners have not yet released a specific menu or name for the upcoming venture.

The Daily Kitchen & Bar first opened in Carytown in 2013, focusing on organic, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly options. According to the source material, the restaurant will continue operations through next month before the scheduled shutdown and subsequent renovation period begins.

Future Plans for the Brand

While the Carytown doors close, the brand itself will persist in the region. According to Richmond BizSense, the Daily Kitchen & Bar location in Short Pump will remain open and unaffected by the changes occurring in the city. The ownership group has not indicated any plans to alter the suburban location at this time.

Construction and rebranding efforts at the Carytown site will likely follow the September closure, though the source material did not provide a specific opening date for the replacement concept.
