The Raleigh City Council today approved a rent restructuring for The Mint restaurant located in the city-owned building One Exchange Plaza on Fayetteville Street.
The revised agreement between the city and Raleigh Restaurant Group reduces the rent by $1,159.63 per month for three years and then recoups much of that money with higher rents in the later years of the lease.
The restructuring reduces the overall value of the 10-year lease by $339.
The Mint opened in January 2008, shortly before the economy tanked and consumers severely cut back on eating out.
