Mellow Mushroom Johnson Ferry Road

The “Coming Soon” status of the planned Mellow Mushroom on Johnson Ferry Road has changed: The newest East Cobb location is opening Feb. 24.

The Atlanta-based pizzeria franchise announced the date on social media this morning, not long after obtaining an alcohol license and beginning hiring.

Plans have been in the works for nearly a year for Mellow Mushroom to occupy the former Common Quarter/Muss & Turner’s space at Woodlawn Square.

Sandy Plains MarketPlace sold

BisNow Atlanta has reported that the new Sandy Plains MarketPlace retail center has been sold by its developer, Fuqua Development, to the Atlanta-based Orkin & Associates real investment firm for $43.8 million.

The 73,000-square-foot center on the former site of Mountain View Elementary School has only a few businesses now—Jim ‘N Nicks BBQ, and next month, a Clean Juice location opens.

Also on tap are the first Publix GreenWise store in Georgia, Bad Daddy Burger Bar and First Watch, a breakfast franchise.

Keegan’s Irish Pub to close and reopen as East Cobb Tavern

January 25, 2020 9:57 PMJanuary 25, 2020 9:49 AM by Wendy Parker

Keegan’s Irish Pub has announced that it’s undergoing remodeling at its East Cobb/Roswell location starting Sunday and when it reopens next Friday, it will be known as East Cobb Tavern.

The restaurant and bar located in the Shallowford Corners Shopping Center (4401 Shallowford Road) is having an Irish wake from 8-11 Saturday to close out the old place.

Menu changes are planned but there’s nothing specific for now. Keegan’s will close out at 3 p.m. on Sunday, then reopen as East Cobb Tavern next Friday, Jan. 31, at 11 a.m.

Keegan’s has been the only Irish pub in the East Cobb area, and is one of four locations in metro Atlanta (Kennesaw, Vinings and Woodstock, the latter being known as Keegan’s Public House) and all feature live music.

For Saturday’s wake at Keegan’s East Cobb, there will be drink specials and raffle prizes, and they’ll be making framed Guinness, Harp and Smithwick’s mirrors available during the festivities.

Updates on the renovations are being posted on the Keegan’s Facebook page, and it’s created another for East Cobb Tavern.

Clean Juice coming to Sandy Plains MarketPlace

East Cobb restaurant update: Clean Juice coming to Sandy Plains MarketPlace

January 20, 2020 2:11 PM by Wendy Parker

A second Clean Juice location in East Cobb will be opening in late March.

The smoothie and juice bar chain announced in late December it would be expanding to the new Sandy Plains MarketPlace retail center. Last week it received a business license from the Cobb Community Development Department.

According to the restaurant and retail site What Now Atlanta, franchisee Kim Burrows is planning an April grand opening.

Clean Juice, based in Charlotte, has more than 60 locations in 18 states. A location at Woodlawn Square opened in July.

Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ was the first business to open at Sandy Plains MarketPlace, which will be anchored by a Publix GreenWise store that’s under construction.

Approved to pour

Updating some anticipated restaurant openings in the Johnson Ferry corridor: McCray’s Tavern, which is moving into the former Loyal Q/Loyal Tavern space at Parkaire Landing, got a pouring license last week from the county.

So did Mellow Mushroom, which announced last summer it was coming to Woodlawn Square. But the opening has been delayed for months, after an initial pouring license was granted in September.

No specific opening dates or timetables have been announced.

East Cobb Biz Notes: McCray’s Tavern coming to former Loyal Q space

East Cobb Loyal Tavern closes — *Loyal Tavern closed at Parkaire Landing in June 2019, after previously opening as Loyal Q and Brew in 2017. (ECN file)*

The former Loyal Q/Loyal Tavern space at Parkaire Landing will soon become another location for the expanding McCray’s Tavern venture, according to a published report.

ToNeTo Atlanta posted Friday that the fourth McCray’s Tavern in metro Atlanta will open in the spring. McCray’s has existing neighborhood bar-type restaurants in Smyrna, Lawrenceville and Midtown.

Randy McCray, one of two brothers behind the LEAD Hospitality Group, recently purchased the longstanding Shillings on the Square restaurant in Marietta.

That’s being converted into a steak and seafood establishment to be called Mac’s Chophouse, also slated to open in the spring.

Other restaurants run by LEAD (for Let’s Eat and Drink) include The Mill in Roswell.

As we noted recently, another restaurant is coming in the spring at Parkaire, the return of the Flying Biscuit Cafe.

Life Grocery and Cafe holding going out of business sale

December 30, 2019 3:33 PM by Wendy Parker

Life Grocery Cafe going out of business

After more than 40 years in business, Life Grocery and Cafe will be closing shortly after the first of the year.

The organic foods store, located at 1453 Roswell Road in the New London Shopping Center, announced on Dec. 26 that it would be closing in January because of “declining sales due to increased competition and increasing costs” and not being able to make improvements at its facility. The following also was on the store’s Facebook page:

“Additionally, our primary distributor has been unable to consistently provide us with quality products that our customers deserve, as they prioritize fulfilling orders for the bigger stores. It has become clear that with these dynamics, along with changing market conditions and shopping culture, we cannot continue to operate our business profitably.”

The store has begun a going out of business sale that continues all through this week, with a 10 percent discount for all customers and 15 percent for store members. The hours this week are as follows.

Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10-6;
Tuesday 10-5;
Wednesday closed;
Sunday 12-4.

All sales are final and no checks will be accepted. Life Grocery and Cafe was founded by Life Chiropractic College students in 1976 seeking healthy eating alternatives, long before Whole Foods and other supermarkets began offering organic products.

On Sunday night, Life ownership followed up with this message:

“The kind comments on social media and in the store have been heart-warming. We have received so many stories of how we have impacted lives and even saved lives through the years. One of our sweet customers suggested that we video customers in the store with their stories. We love the idea, but the tears that go with that are just too much to bear. We have already gone through enough boxes of tissues! If you feel so inclined, we’d love you send us a video or audio clip to lifegroceryandcafe@gmail.com and let us know what Life has meant to you.”

The store was able to end its lease two years early and also is selling equipment and fixtures. For inquiries call Ronnie Hudson at 770-977-9583 ext. 124 or email lifegroceryandcafe@gmail.com.

Also closing during the past year was the Loyal Q Tavern at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center and Once and Again Books on Shallowford Road.

The year 2019 was a healthy one for new fitness center openings, including Fit Body Boot Camp and SPENGA East Cobb, among others, as well as Explore Chiropractic at Parkaire.

Other new stores include The French Table and Pineapple Porch, home decor outlet, Frenchie’s Modern Nail Care and Code Ninjas, a coding school for kids.

Carwash USA, which had been located at Roswell Road and Old Canton Road, reopened at the former Wells Fargo Bank branch on Johnson Ferry Road at East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center.

Jennifer Cortez, a former manager at the now-closed Kaminsky Jewelry store on Post Oak Tritt Road, opened Jennifer Jewelers in the same spot.

The Credit Union of Georgia opened a branch on Johnson Ferry Road, and The Solana East Cobb, a senior living facility, marked the end of its first full year in business with a grand opening in November.

New restaurants and eateries in East Cobb include Jim ‘Nicks BBQ, the first business at the new Sandy Plains MarketPlace, Clean Juice at Woodlawn Square, Roll On In at Woodlawn Commons and Duck Donuts at Merchants Walk.

Perhaps the most anticipated opening—reopening, really—was the remodeled and expanded Chick-fil-A at Woodlawn Square, which was closed for several months.

Two other restaurant chains relocating to East Cobb won’t be opening until 2020. Mellow Mushroom will be taking the former Common Quarter space at Woodlawn Square, and Flying Biscuit Cafe is coming to Parkaire Landing by next spring.

Egg Harbor Cafe closing in East Cobb

Egg Harbor Cafe closing in East Cobb over leasing issues

December 11, 2019 12:57 PM by Wendy Parker

Egg Harbor Cafe East Cobb closing

One of East Cobb’s more popular breakfast and lunch spots is closing, and soon.

Egg Harbor Cafe, which opened at the Stonewood Village Shopping Center on Lower Roswell Road at Woodlawn Drive in 2017, will be closing at the end of business on Sunday, according to Elliot Cash, a company spokesman.

He issued the following statement to East Cobb News about the reasons why:

“We are sad to announce that our lease here in East Cobb is coming to an end, and we have been unable to come to economic terms with our landlord to extend our lease, as years of roof leaks and extensive water damage to the building has rendered it an unacceptable situation for our business standards.”

The vacancy has been posted by Riverwood Properties, which manages the 32,295-square-foot shopping center for South Coast Management, LLC, the retail center’s owner.

Allie Hodge, a leasing manager at Riverwood, said she got word Monday from South Coast that Egg Harbor is intending to vacate the premises by Jan. 1.

Egg Harbor Cafe operates 20 restaurants in the Chicago area, Lake Geneva, Wis., and Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Buckhead and Sandy Springs.

The Egg Harbor Cafe space in East Cobb has been home to several restaurants, including the short-lived Tavola Italian Kitchen & Bar. Before that, it was Ritter’s, owned by Ritter Jones, who shuttered that and the Paper Mill Grill in late 2014 due to financial pressures.

The Flying Biscuit Cafe is returning to East Cobb, at Parkaire Landing, but a specific opening date has not been announced. The Atlanta-based breakfast and lunch chain is saying only that a tentative opening will be in the spring of 2020.
