UPDATE: Woodlawn Square Chick-fil-A renovations wrapping up

Chick-fil-A Woodlawn Square

Woodlawn Square Chick-fil-A

Because we’ve gotten a few requests to find out, here’s the latest we have on the reopening of the Woodlawn Square Chick-fil-A after extensive renovations:

Spokeswoman Callie Bowers told us Friday that they’re aiming for the last week of March for a grand reopening date.

“Should know more in the next week or so, but the last week of March is what we have as of now,” she said.

As we’ve noted earlier, the original reopening was slated to be in November after the location closed in July.

Bowers didn’t explain the reasons for the delay, but there’s been a lot of rain since the fall, and that’s what’s been cited by county officials for the pushback in finishing Mabry Park.

Up until the last couple weeks, the parking area and drive through at the Chick-fil-A were still bogged in mud. Some of the pavement has been poured, but there’s still cleanup and setup indoors and striping and final touches outdoors to be done.

Cobb Sunday alcohol hours extended just in time for Super Bowl

Last fall, Cobb voters extended Sunday alcohol hours by approving a “brunch bill” that would allow adult beverage service to begin at 11 a.m.Cobb brunch bill, Cobb Sunday alcohol hours

Last week, Cobb commissioners voted to amend the county code to allow restaurants and bars to serve alcohol until 2 a.m. on Mondays.

Previously, last call was at midnight Monday.

The new hours began today, and are permanent, but they also were timed for the Super Bowl, which takes place this coming Sunday in Atlanta.

The new rule applies only to establishments that derive at 50 percent of their revenues from food service or the same percentage of revenue from overnight room rentals.

Before the elections, Sunday alcohol service and retail sales could begin only after 12:30 p.m.

But the “brunch bill” was approved with more than 71 percent of the vote in unincorporated Cobb, by far the largest margin for any item on the local ballot.

Top East Cobb stories for 2018: Comings and goings in restaurants, businesses and development

top East Cobb stories for 2018, Sprayberry Crossing
Citizens living near the Sprayberry Crossing Shopping Center demanded county officials do something about the property that has been blighted for years. (ECN file)

We’re starting off our compilation of top East Cobb stories for 2018 with a rundown of what opened and closed in the community this year, especially restaurants, other notable businesses and zoning and development matters.

These are based on reader trends as well as newsworthiness. As you can see, this was quite the year in East Cobb for these subjects, especially restaurants and some major zoning cases that could establish changing development trends.

Two major redevelopment projects in the Powers Ferry Road corridor were approved this year, and they’re slated to transform an area that’s being revived due in part to its proximity to SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta.

Those projects weren’t without their critics, concerned about high density and traffic that’s a growing issue elsewhere in East Cobb and beyond.

Citizens fed up with years of inaction over the run-down Sprayberry Crossing Shopping Center organized a community meeting that drew many county officials, but nothing has happened despite a court order.

Good Food restaurant closes on Lower Roswell Road

Jenny Cubbon, owner of the Good Food restaurant at 2044 Lower Roswell Road (across from the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center), announced that it’s closed, as of today.Good Food restaurant closes

Good Food opened a little more than a year ago in The Shoppes at NewMarket Center and served up a variety of what she called comfort food in a cafeteria-style setting.

Here’s the message Cubbon sent out, and she also indicated she may regroup after the holidays for catering purposes:

Unfortunately, though very successful for a first year start up, we simply can not support the rent for this space and the landlord is unwilling to work with us in any reasonable way.

He won’t even allow me to put up a proper building sign. I guess he’d rather have empty spaces than work with us on rent. It’s hard to walk away from a thriving restaurant that I know has been a welcome addition to our community, but I’m left with no choice.

Thanks for the love,

Jenny and the Good Food Crew.

All catering orders will be honored as contracted.

Update: Sage Woodfire Tavern Windy Hill closes after a year in business

Sage Woodfire Tavern closes

Back in August the owner of the Sage Woodfire Tavern Windy Hill had put the restaurant up for sale less than a year after opening. A reader passed by recently and alerted us that it that it looked like it had closed.

The restaurant did reach its first-year anniversary in October, but closed not long after that. According to a posting on its Facebook page, Sage Woodfire Tavern shuttered its doors on Oct. 28.

There was no word on whether the property has been sold, or what might come in its place. It opened in October 2017 in the spot of the former Houston’s restaurant.

The parcel at 3050 Windy Hill Road, at the intersection of Powers Ferry Road, is adjacent to, but not part of, a block of land that made up “Restaurant Row.” Those mostly vacant restaurant buildings will make way for a mixed-use development approved by Cobb commissioners that will include the remaining restaurant, the Rose & Crown Tavern.

The Sage closing is the second in the East Cobb area in the last couple years for the Sage Woodfire Tavern group, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it sought a buyer for the Windy Hill property.

The Sage Social Kitchen was open for only a few months at Merchants Festival. The space is now occupied by Jason’s Deli, which opened earlier this month.

Just before it closed, the Windy Hill restaurant was promoting a new Sunday jazz brunch menu, as well as a new happy hour menu and live music performances.

Sage Woodfire Tavern locations remain in Dunwoody and Buckhead.

Update: Chick-fil-A Woodlawn Square reopening slated for January

 

Chick fil A Woodlawn Square reopening

After getting some reader inquiries about the subject, we’ve got an answer to a question we’ve heard asked a lot in recent weeks: The Chick-fil-A Woodlawn Square reopening (1201 Johnson Ferry Road) is set for January.

That’s the word we got from Chick-fil-A representative Callie Bowers, who said there isn’t a specific date that’s been determined but is likely in the range of early- to mid-January.

The location has been closed since July for the construction of a new building and parking lot, including a double drive-through. When it closed, company officials were hoping to reopen in November.

When we last drove by a week or so ago, the new building was nearly completed, but everything around it is a pile of mud and dirt.

In the meantime, employment applications are being accepted for anyone aged 16 and older.

Bowers said there will be a full grand reopening schedule of activities.

It was supposed to be Oct. 22 but renovation delays pushed that back. Hours are 10-10 seven days a week.

Update: Another delay for East Cobb Jason’s Deli opening

East Cobb Jason's Deli opening

We got a message today saying that the East Cobb Jason’s Deli opening has been pushed back again, to mid-November.

We noted on Monday, which was to have been the opening, that construction delays resulted in a delay to Nov. 5.

Greg Feltner, the managing partner for the East Cobb Jason’s Deli, said in an e-mail this afternoon that the renovations are taking longer than expected, and here’s why:

“The building is more than 30 years old, so we basically had to gut the inside and start from scratch. The construction crew did not realize how long that would take.”

He didn’t mention a specific date because the construction crew is replacing all the tile in the kitchen, “which we were told is at least a 10-day job.”

The Jason’s Deli space at Merchants Exchange (1205 Johnson Ferry Road) has been the home for Sage Social Kitchen, Chequers Seafood and Steak and Houlihan’s.

The Freakin’ Incan restaurant moving to Sandy Plains Village

The original location of The Freakin’ Incan restaurant is on the move.The Freakin' Incan restaurant

The Peruvian dining spot isn’t going too far away, from its current location at 4905 Alabama Road in Roswell, along the Fulton-Cobb border and near the convergence of Sandy Plains Road and Mabry Road.

It’s opening up in larger space and with a full bar next to the Movie Tavern (4651 Woodstock Road), in the Sandy Plains Village shopping center. That’s only a block or so away.

The Freakin’ Incan made the announcement today, and said the last day of service at its current venue will be next Wednesday, Oct. 24. The restaurant will reopen in the new space in November but a specific date wasn’t given.

The Freakin’ Incan started out as a food truck and catering venture, with owner Mikiel Arnold, a native of Peru, opening a restaurant in Roswell in 2014. He expanded to Tucker last year.
