Earlier this fall East Cobb News reported on plans to open a Taqueria Tsunami restaurant at the old Caribou Coffee/Einstein Bros. Bagel location on Johnson Ferry Road. As it turns out, the owners of that Marietta-based Latin-Asian fusion chain also have their eyes on expanding their Stockyard Burgers concept to East Cobb.
Scoop OTP is reporting that Fork U Concepts is planning an early 2018 opening for Stockyard Burgers and Bones at The Avenue East Cobb, in the former Brixx pizza location.
It’s the latest development in a flurry of news about forthcoming East Cobb restaurants. Last week we reported that La Novia Taqueria, operated by the Moxie Burger ownership team, is hiring for its new spot at Paper Mill Village.
Fork U Concepts has been gradually expanding its various restaurant brands in recent months in metro Atlanta. The company got and received a zoning stipulation from the Cobb Board of Commissioners to remove the drivethrough at the former Caribou Coffee and restripe the parking lot to expand availability to 42 spaces for Taqueria Tsunami, which is expected to open in March.
Stockyard Burgers and Bones first opened on the Marietta Square and has expanded to Vinings and soon will open in Sandy Springs. East Cobb will be its fourth location.
Taqueria Tsunami also began on the Marietta Square and has expanded to Woodstock, Athens, Roswell and Simpsonville, Ky. and also is planning an opening soon for Sandy Springs.
The Black Swan Tavern has been gearing up for opening at the Merchants Festival Shopping Center (1401 Johnson Ferry Road, in the old Churchill’s Pub space), since the summer. The owners from Dunwoody Restaurant Group announced Thursday that it also is beginning the hiring process, and that “the doors open next week.”
