Par 3 founder Moananui Haretuku is expanding the footprint of his popular putt-putt business at Newport on the Levee.
Opened in August 2024, Par 3 features three nine-hole putt-putt courses, a bar, restaurant, gaming area, and event space. The business occupies the former Barnes & Noble space.
Par 3 announced it will occupy the 6,600-square-foot former Bridgeview Food Hall space, which is located directly next door to the existing business. Interior renovations are currently in progress, with an anticipated opening in late July.
“The Levee has been evolving into a hub for unique experiences over the past few years, and we’ve been very pleased with how well Par 3 has performed so far,” Haretuku said in a news release. “We knew we wanted to grow our footprint to fill the void onsite for fast-casual bites and approached Jamestown [the company that owns Newport on the Levee] about options. Everything fell into place naturally with the food hall being vacant – which is perfect since the space already has a direct connection to our main entrance.”
According to the release, two of the four kitchens, the central bar, and the outdoor patio will remain in place, while new digital screens, food displays, and an ordering counter are being installed. Haretuku said he may add another golf hole on the ground floor later this year.
