East Cobb Restaurant Update: Alumni Cookie Dough closing

by

Alumni Cookie Dough

A little more than three years after opening at Woodlawn Square Shopping Center, the Alumni Cookie Dough location is closing in East Cobb this week.

Co-franchisees Eric and Leana Tatum made the announcement on a social media posting Monday, saying the last day of business is Saturday.

The message to customers said that “your love and loyalty have meant the world to us, and we are forever grateful for the community we have built together.”

In response to a request for information from East Cobb News, Eric Tatum said the business was not profitable and “our landlord was nice enough to give us a manageable deal on early termination of our commercial lease.”

He said he’ll be looking for employment after the store closes.

The Tatums—he’s a Walton High School graduate—opened an East Cobb location of the Athens-based novelty food shop in October 2021, serving up cookie dough-based desserts, ice creams, sundaes, pretzel bites and more.

In addition to its original location in Athens, Alumni Cookie Dough also operates stores in Milton and Cumming. Another store in the Augusta area closed in 2023.

The Tatums were vendors at the Taste of East Cobb and invited local school and community organizations for special events.

The East Cobb store will observe regular hours until Saturday’s closing, “pending icy weather,” the closing message said. “We’ll probably close around 6pm on Saturday.”

Hours are 1-9 Wednesday-Thursday and 12-10 Friday-Saturday.

East Cobb restaurant update: 101 Bagel Cafe closes

by

East Cobb 101 Bagel Cafe closes

Less than three years after its opening, the 101 Bagel Cafe has closed in East Cobb.

There’s a sign on the door acknowledging the closing and green mesh around what had been a small patio in the front of the location at 4811 Lower Roswell Road, at the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road.

The news was first reported Tuesday by ToNeTo, which said there is only one 101 Bagel Cafe that remains open, in Milton/Crabapple.

The chain’s website still lists the East Cobb location, but a button for online ordering goes to the Milton/Crabapple location.

The closure in East Cobb follows other 101 Bagel Cafe closures in recent months, including on Akers Mill Road.

That was the original 101 Bagel Cafe opening in 2018. Rob Miller was the franchisee there and in East Cobb, and he also operated a location in Duluth that also has since closed.

The Dunwoody location also has closed, while the Milton location opened last year.

When Miller opened in East Cobb in April 2022, he said the New York-style concept—featuring Catskills water for boiling and then baking bagels—would find a niche in a competitive market.

He was going up against East Cobb mainstays Bagelicious and Goldbergs Bagel, not far away in the Johnson Ferry corridor.

101 Bagel Cafe’s closing follows the Flying Biscuit, which shuttered in September at Parkaire Landing, and as the Lower Roswell-Johnson Ferry area is preparing for major traffic improvements that have caused concerns for some business owners in the area.

East Cobb restaurant update: Guthrie’s Chicken opens Monday

by

East Cobb Guthrie's Chicken opening

A year after its plans were approved by the county, a Guthrie’s Chicken location in East Cobb is set to open.

We went by the new building today (4774 Lower Roswell Road at Johnson Ferry Road) and the electronic sign said the opening is Monday, Dec. 16.

There are work crews doing final touch-up work, and the location recently passed its first health inspection with flying colors.

As we noted previously, this Guthrie’s will be drive-through only due to the small size of the 3.17-acre property.

Cobb commissioners approved site plan changes in December 2023 that include right-in, right-out access only on Lower Roswell Road.

Guthrie’s knocked down the small building that formerly housed several small businesses for a new 1,500-foot structure with a drive-through canopy and 10 parking spaces.

An inflatable chicken greets motorists along Lower Roswell Road, but is partially hidden due to a low wall constructed near the intersection.

Guthrie’s is an Alabama-based chain that has one other Cobb location, in Mableton, and recently opened a restaurant in the Woodstock area.

It’s coming into a competitive East Cobb area for fast casual food, and chicken in particular. Guthrie’s menu features chicken fingers, and includes chicken sandwiches and buckets.

A Super Chix opened at Avenue East Cobb in September. In April, Howlin’ Willy’s, a hot-chicken concept from Willy’s Mexicana Grill, opened at Pine Straw Place near Trader’ Joes.

There’s also a long-standing Zaxby’s caddy-corner at the northeast intersection of Johnson Ferry and Lower Roswell.

Guthrie’s hours in East Cobb are 10:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. daily.

Marietta Donuts to open third location near Sprayberry HS

by

Marietta Donuts to open third location near Sprayberry HS

A third location of the Johnson Ferry Road-based Marietta Donuts will be opening soon, and will be the second in East Cobb.

A social media posting last week indicated that the new space is in the Sprayberry Collection shopping center (2520 East Piedmont Road, Suite 3) and that plans are to open before Christmas.

Sokcheat Heng opened the first Marietta Donuts next to a gas station (now Shell) at 1282 Johnson Ferry Road with his girlfriend and business partner, Sophal Chhim, in 2016.

In addition to a wide variety of doughnuts, the shop sells fritters and kolaches, a Polish-style pastry with sausage, as well as croissants, cinnamon rolls, eclairs, breakfast biscuits, bagels, coffees and teas.

In 2021, a second Marietta Donuts opened on Cobb Parkway in Kennesaw.

East Cobb News has left a message with Marietta Donuts seeking more information.

Sprayberry Collection is located on East Piedmont near Sandy Plains Road and Sprayberry High School. The small retail center used to house Cafe 33 and other small businesses but there are mostly empty storefronts now.

But it’s also located near the now-razed Sprayberry Crossing Shopping Center that’s being redeveloped. The first phase of that project, EVOQ of East Cobb, is a 55-and-older apartment building that is under construction.

Townhomes and retail spaces also are planned for the redevelopment which has been named East Cobb Walk.

The Marietta Donuts space will take up 1,200 square feet that formerly was occupied by a hair salon at Sprayberry Collection.

East Cobb restaurant update: Willie Jewell’s Bar-B-Q closing

East Cobb restaurant update: Willie Jewell's Bar-B-Q closing

The East Cobb location of Willie Jewell’s Old School Bar-B-Q will be closing at the end of the week.

According to the restaurant’s social media accounts, the last day of business will be Sunday, Nov. 17.

No reason for the closing was stated in the announcement, which said that it was made with “mixed emotions” and thanked customers.

“Please come by one last time before we close to enjoy your favorite dishes, share stories with our staff and say goodbye. We look forward to seeing you.”

Kat Brown of Willie Jewell’s told East Cobb News that the restaurant space at Sprayberry Crossing Shopping Center will be turned over to an operator who will be opening up a new barbecue concept soon.

The Florida-based Willie Jewell’s opened in an outparcel 2550 Sandy Plains Road in 2017, serving up slow-cooked smoked barbecue beef, pork, turkey and chicken dishes, including ribs, Southern side dishes and desserts, as well as salads and burgers.

The surrounding East Cobb area includes a number of barbecue restaurants, including Righteous Que, Williamson Bros., Sam’s BBQ-Q, Jim ‘N Nick’s and others.

Willie Jewell’s is a fast-casual spinoff of the venerable Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q concept in Jacksonville, Fla,, and has 10 other locations, mostly in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

It’s named after a young woman who came to Bono’s and was a longtime cook there.

Local customers expressed surprise at the news of the East Cobb closing, with one saying on the restaurant’s Facebook page that “I’m going to miss being able to be in the ‘know’ and walk in, sit at the bar and order. I already miss several employees that I’ve met since y’all opened, it’s going to be sad to miss your place.”

Opening hours at Willie Jewell’s are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
