A couple more restaurants are opening their doors, or are about to, along with the Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q that christened the Sandy Plains Marketplace.
On Monday, MOD Pizza began serving with a fast-casual menu (peruse it here) and had a grand opening. The 12-year-old Seattle-based chain, with 400 restaurants in the U.S. and United Kingdowm, now has seven locations in Georgia and its first in the East Cobb area.
Hours are Sunday-Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
A few doors down, the First Watch breakfast-lunch-brunch eatery (here’s the menu) announced it’s opening Monday, March 16.
Based in Florida, First Watch has more than 200 restaurants in 26 states, including 12 in Georgia (one is in Kennesaw).
On Saturday, the Hollywood Feed organic pet supplies store at Sandy Plains Marketplace is opening with 20 percent discounts. The hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
The Clean Juice smoothie bar is continue to hire for an April opening. That’s also the target month for the GreenWise Market that we noted last week, but a specific date is TBA.
Kroger gas stations coming
While a fueling center run by Kroger across the Street at Sandy Plains Village is under construction, work will begin soon on another Kroger gas station in East Cobb.
Reader Kevin passed along the photo below of a portion of the Pavilions at East Lake at Roswell Road that’s being torn down for the gas station.
It’s where a Panera Bread restaurant once was located, and another restaurant had to move to make room.
The Ege Sushi restaurant is now located on the other end of the Pavilions, near J. Christopher’s and Kayhill’s Sports Bar and Grill.
An existing Kroger gas station is at the Shallowford Falls Shopping Center at Johnson Ferry Road.
