In this month of Roanoke New Businesses, we're introducing two new coffee shops, a Jamaican food truck, an arcade & four brick and mortar restaurants and cafes.
The Roanoke Development section in Roanoke Professionals was started for readers to welcome new businesses, read a little about them and see where they're located on the map. You never know if one of these new businesses will be by your neighborhood.
This list is just a few of the dozens of businesses that opened in December of 2024. This list isn't meant to be a complete list of all new businesses in Roanoke and were chosen in alphabetical order based on the food, drink, shopping & things-to-do industries of Roanoke.
Editor's Note: We try hard to be accurate in our reporting but please always call the establishment beforehand to confirm opening hours, offers and events.
