After eight successful years in Myrtle Beach, Crave Italian Oven and Bar is expanding to North Myrtle Beach. The second Crave will be located at 200 U.S. 17 North, in a former Five Guys burger restaurant in the Surfwood Shopping Center, which is anchored by a Lowe’s home improvement store.

Partner Nick Vaugh said approximately $1 million has been invested for an indoor and outdoor renovation of the venue, which he anticipates will open in August. The 3,500-square-foot interior can seat approximately 100 with a full bar, and 50 can be seated outside on a patio that will be covered and climate-controlled with motorized transparent covers.
