Project: Renovations and updates to the former Pizza Hut on Willamette Street to make room for a new restaurant, Seoul K-Food.

Location: 2870 Willamette Street, Eugene.

Willamette Street has seen some noticeable changes to businesses available along the road in recent months, particularly between 25th Ave. and 30th Ave.

One of the most significant is an update to the former Pizza Hut Wing Street location. It used to occupy a terracotta-colored building next to the Oregon Community Credit Union at Willamette Street and W. 29th Ave. The building was last remodeled in 2008 to complete needed updates for the then-Pizza Hut.

Now, the building’s façade has changed to a light blue color with green trim. Preparations are being made for a new business to move in — Seoul K-Food.

Seoul K-Food is planned to join multiple new businesses in the Woodfield Station, including a Chipotle still under construction and a Coldstone Creamery that is open for business. A few blocks away, more eateries have recently opened such as Sprout Kitchen and Wing Stop.

Willamette Street between 25th Ave. and 29th Ave. has seen numerous new businesses taking up space along this road in recent months. One of the newer additions to food and dining options on Willamette Street is a restaurant called Seoul K-Food.
