They’re hiring for the East Cobb location, as well as several others in the region. Based in Memphis, Hollywood Feed operates in eight states in the South, and currently has eight stores in Georgia.

The new Hollywood Feed store at Woodlawn Square will take up suites 119 and 121, in space formerly occupied by the Sweet Spirit Christian bookstore.

Café 33 closes in Sprayberry area

In case you missed the story we posted over the weekend: Café 33, a family-homestyle restaurant operated near Sprayberry High School by former Yellow Jackets football player and Shane Clements, closed on New Year’s Eve.

The restaurant specialized in breakfast and lunch fare and also added a dinner menu, but cited a drop in foot traffic and landlord issues for shutting after more than six years.
