If part of a restaurant’s currency is novelty, Stock has it in spades.

It’s the first in Roanoke to be opened by a retail store, local furniture maker Txtur, and the first eatery with a menu dedicated to Nordic and Northern European cuisine.

Stock intends to open this weekend inside downtown's former Fire Station No. 1, but plans for the restaurant have been in the works since early 2022.
