Gordon Quinby and Charley Smith are hoping a makeover will help an old Cary Street restaurant building get its mojo back.
The pair last month purchased the former Mojo’s Philadeli building at 733 W. Cary St. for $750,000.
Sitting near VCU’s campus at the corner of West Cary and South Laurel streets, the 6,700-square-foot building had been home to Mojo’s for over 20 years.
The restaurant closed last fall, and Quinby and Smith’s purchase of the building closed Dec. 22. The 121-year-old building was most recently assessed by the city at $912,000.
