Greenville’s Rising Restaurant Scene Faces a Soft Landing: The Collapse of Zap Greenfield and Travis Grill This Summer July has swept through Greenville’s vibrant dining district, but instead of celebrating culinary growth, it’s marked by a sharp downturn—and two high-profile collapses: Zap Greenfield and Travis Grill. Once celebrated as essentials of the city’s rising restaurant scene, their recent closures reflect broader challenges in an industry battling rising costs, staffing shortages, and shifting consumer habits. ### The Fall of Two Greenville Icons Zap Greenfield, launched with passionate support from local food enthusiasts and praised for its innovative farm-to-table concept, shuttered its doors this July after just two years of operation. Known for bold creativity and a farm-sourced menu, Zap embodied Greenville’s spirit—locally driven, community-focused, and forward-thinking. However, behind the scenes, escalating food prices, revenue shortfalls, and supply chain disruptions forced the closure, leaving many wondering if the disconnect between ambition and sustainability had taken its toll.
