After closing his doors to a 40-year family restaurant in the Powers Ferry Road area last December, owner Christos Giannes is reopening the Greek-style eatery in East Cobb in the Johnson Ferry Road area.
The successor to Kouzina Christos will occupy the former space of Aurelio’s restaurant in the Market Plaza Shopping Center (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 22) when it opens in late May or early June, according to the restaurant’s social media postings.
Christos received a business license for the relocated restaurant on April 26, according to Cobb Business License Division records.
Christos Pizza, founded by his father, opened at Terrell Mill Junction in 1979, then moved to the Delk Spectrum Shopping Center before relocating next to L.A. Fitness at the redeveloped Terrell Mill Village in 2012.
When he closed Kouzina Christos in December, Giannes cited difficulty working out terms of a lease with the landlord following a months-long closure due to COVID-19 restrictions.
He said he was interested in looking at possible other “options to re-imagine the next chapter of Kouzina Christos.”
