East Cobb restaurant update: Five Guys, Panera Bread opening soon

Five Guys East Cobb opening

We’re still waiting to get official word on a specific date but the new Five Guys location in East Cobb is a step closer to opening.

The former Del Taco space at the East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center (4269 Roswell Road) has been converted over the past weeks, and the final stages of the project are in progress.

That includes getting a business license, which the Cobb Community Development Agency said was issued Sept. 16.

Typically restaurants get business licenses right before opening their doors. We’ve left several messages with Five Guys for more details and will pass that along when we get them.

East Cobb Crossing also will be the location for the newest Publix store in East Cobb, with plans underway to occupy space next to Dick’s Sporting Goods. That was to have taken place this fall but there’s not an opening timetable forthcoming.

Five Guys, which specializes in gourmet hamburgers, has 48 other locations in Georgia, including Austell, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Sandy Springs, Roswell and Woodstock.

Also last week, a business license was granted for a Panera Bread location at the new MarketPlace Terrell Mill (1430 Terrell Mill Road).

It will be the second East Cobb location, along with The Avenue East Cobb. A Panera Bread location closed several years ago at the Pavilions at East Lake, on the site of a new Kroger gas station.

  1. This would not be the first Five Guys in East Cobb. The first Five Guys that I know of in East Cobb was at the shopping center at the head of Mabry Road at 92 in the Starbucks shopping center; about a year ago??, they moved into the Target shopping center by Hardscrabble. Now, they’re not in East Cobb – but for years, they were.
