A reader alerted us to he news that the the Cleaver and Cork specialty meat and butcher shop has been sold and closed, a little more than a year after opening at the Shoppes of Woodlawn (1062 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 162-D).
Social media postings indicate the sale closed to an unnamed buyer. When we went by the store, a sign said that it closed on Feb. 15 and will continue “as a top quality butcher shop and will reopen as soon as the new owners are established.”
Cleaver and Cork describes itself as a family-owned artisanal butcher with a full line of premium meats as well as seafood, side dishes, cheese, produce, coffee, spices, charcuterie products and more.
The company is run by Chad and Audrey Stine, both former meat industry and sales representatives. They founded their first butcher shop in Sharpsburg, Ga., in 2018, then in nearby Newnan the next year. A store on Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta opened in late 2022.
The social media postings said “Chef Josh,” who has been working at the East Cobb location for the past year—”a dedicated employee taking it on for the team, driving the drive every day”—will be working out of the Newnan location.
