East Cobb Biz Notes: Mellow Mushroom opens on Johnson Ferry

Mellow Mushroom Johnson Ferry

The long-awaited return of Mellow Mushroom to the Johnson Ferry Road corridor is here.

The pizza restaurant opened its doors at 11 a.m. Monday in the Woodlawn Square Shopping Center, in the former Muss & Turner’s/Common Quarter Space.

Opening hours are 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. seven days a week, and here’s the menu.

It’s been almost a year since the Atlanta-based chain announced it was returning to this part of East Cobb, when the Fountains of Olde Towne gave way to the Northside medical center on Johnson Ferry.

Mellow Mushroom got an alcohol license last fall, then renewed it over the winter, due to unspecified delays.

The restaurant is continuing its hiring process, and anyone interested in applying should e-mail johnsonferry_ga@mellowmushroominfo.com or talk to a manager in person.
