The Avenue East Cobb Bed Bath Beyond closing

Some changes afoot at The Avenue East Cobb include the closing of the Bed, Bath and Beyond store and the K Squared Artisan Boutique.

The BB & B closing is part of a multi-store paring down by the national household wares chain, including a store near Perimeter Mall.

The Avenue East Cobb store will be open until the end of February, and there’s a 20 percent off sale for everything in stock, plus other sales.

K Squared Artisan Boutique, which sells, jewelry and handcrafted gifts made by local artists, announced Wednesday that it’s closing this month.

“It’s the end of a dream, but the beginning of new ones. We had a great run, but we have decided to close K Squared this month,” read a social media announcement. K Squared The Avenue East Cobb

K Squared, which was started by Katy Colvin and Kesha Darji, former jewelry business owners, is holding a store closing sale next week (Jan. 10-16) with 50 percent discounts, and all displays will be on sale.

“Can’t thank all the great artists and customers who supported us through this journey!,” they said Wednesday. “We met so many incredible people and are proud of what we created. Please keep in touch and stop by K Squared one last time!”

Another store has opened nearby at The Avenue, in the former Olea Oliva space, and that we’ll be featuring soon in a separate post.

It’s called Vanilla Cafe e Gelato, and it’s in Suite 1010 (near the East Cobb mural). We’re talking to the owners and will be featuring them soon.
