Half Price Books is continuing curbside pickup service while allowing customers back inside on a limited basis.

Earlier this week we updated some dining room reopenings at East Cobb restaurants and for the next few days will be adding to this post about other business reopenings, changes in hours and services, etc.

Pam Kirby at Half Price Books got in touch to say that the store at Woodlawn Square Shopping Center that has been closed to in-store browsing has reopened to customers to browse and shop inside.

Those hours are limited to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday; they’re still taking advance orders for curbside pickup as they’ve been doing for several weeks now.

The Bookmiser store at 3822 Roswell Road has been open all along for inside shopping and curbside pickup, and provides shoppers with hand sanitizers upon entry. Some of the live events that have been planned are being rescheduled virtually, and the link has more details.

The Book Exchange at 2932 Canton Road is open and is also conducting author interviews and book club events via Zoom; details at its Facebook Page, as well as info about a GoFundMe drive that’s ongoing.

The Book Nook Marietta at 1547 Roswell Road announced this week it’s a couple weeks away from from reopening.

More salons and personal care businesses are starting to reopen, following some revisions to the statewide executive order.

Nancy’s Salon reopened earlier this week at Merchant’s Walk, and is strongly encouraging appointment business only and is telling customers they must wear face masks.

Orangetheory Fitness at Merchants Festival announced it’s reopening soon and is booking classes.

East Cobb restaurant reopenings: Taqueria Tsunami, Ted’s, more

by

East Cobb Taqueria Tsunami restaurant

We’re keeping track of a flurry of announcements by East Cobb businesses in recent days about their reopening plans, and in the case of restaurants, the return of dining-room service.

Among those restaurants allowing you to dine in now is Taqueria Tsunami on Johnson Ferry Road, where the patio also is open, as of today (Thursday).

Like many restaurants that are allowing customers to eat-in, management posted the following safety/sanitation measures it is undertaking, noting it’s also trained staff on the new procedures:

  • Continuous and routine hourly sanitizing/cleaning of all highly trafficked and touched areas of the restaurant (from bar tops down to all door handles)
  • Provide masks and gloves for team members
  • Team member wellness screen every shift
  • Encourage guests to wear masks and practice social distancing while in the restaurant
  • Limited our seating capacity, as required by state regulation, to ensure social distancing and capacity limits are met
  • Use of disposable, one-time use menus
  • Removal of salt and pepper shakers and condiments from the tables (available upon request, and sanitized after use)
  • Added antibacterial stations for our team and guests
  • Focus on sanitation and cleanliness during our shift staff meetings to promote the importance of rigorous hand washing procedures
  • Encouraging customers, vendors and team members to remain home if showing any sign of illness or being in contact with someone who has the virus.

Taqueria Tsunami’s dining room reopening comes two days after Gov. Brian Kemp relaxed some restrictions for restaurants, which can now seat 10 patrons per 300 square feet and seat as many as 10 people in one dining party. 

The Tin Lizzy’s restaurant at The Avenue East Cobb reopened on Wednesday, with dining room service available daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Tonight Aspen’s Signature Steaks is starting what it calls “distanced dine-in service” from 5-8 p.m.

Reservations are required, and you can make one online.  Curbside service continues from 4-8 p.m. daily and you can order here.

Ted’s Montana Grill at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center also has opened up its dining room, starting at 11:30 a.m. daily.

A few other restaurants of note are taking additional steps before fully reopening.

Paradise South of the Border (Highland Plaza Shopping Center) will be opening its dining room and the patio for limited dine-in starting Monday, May 18 but for now the Paradise Grille dining room is remaining closed, and is being used for curbside pick up only

The Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant at East Lake is expanding its hours, but only for takeout and curbside: Monday-Friday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Monday-Friday 5-10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday 5-10:30 p.m.; Sunday 4-10 p.m.; plans are to reopen the dining room in a couple of weeks.
