Tennessee-based hot sauce chain Pepper Palace had been eyeing Wilmington for a new location for about two years when Tavis Scholz, the company’s South region director, toured a storefront on North Front Street that was up for lease. Scholz said the space at 10 N. Front St. and the Wilmington market, more broadly, seemed like a perfect fit for Pepper Palace brand. The company opened its downtown Wilmington store on March 22.
