Nancy’s Vintage Shop

East Cobb Biz Notes: Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar open for lunch; Small Business Saturday and more

by

Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar

Earlier this month Drift Fish House and Oyster Bar began serving lunch on weekdays. The hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday and the menu features features salads, sandwiches, starters, cold bar items and selected desserts from the dinner menu.

Doug Turbush, who owns Seed and Stem Wine Bar at Merchants Walk, opened Drift at The Avenue East Cobb (4475 Roswell Road) in March 2016.

Small Business Saturday

The annual Small Business Saturday promotion is taking place again this coming Saturday, and among the newer East Cobb businesses taking part is Nancy’s Vintage Shop (1050 E. Piedmont Road, Suite 102).

Owner Nancy Hartung is calling her event the Holiday Soirree, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. customers can enjoy a variety of discounts, treats and freebies. She opened her store at the Piedmont Commons Shopping Center (across from the McCleskey-East Cobb YMCA) in March, and sells clothing and collectibles from the 1960s-1990s.

Also taking part in Small Business Saturday is Bookmiser (3822 Roswell Road), which has been a longtime proponent of the Shop Small campaign.

Small Business Saturday was begun by American Express in 2010 to aid small businesses at the start of the holiday shopping season, which is typically dominated by national retailers. Its small business impact statement claims that 67 cents out of every dollar spent at a local business stays in the community.

Freaking Incan update

A few weeks back we noted that the Freaking Incan restaurant was briefly closing and relocating nearby at at the Sandy Plains Village Shopping Center.

Yesterday they announced that the new spot is opening on Dec. 1, next to the Movie Tavern, at 4651 Woodstock Road, Suite 305. The hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Stocking the Brumby ES food pantry

An update to something else we posted last week about the 5th year anniversary celebration for Honest-1 auto care on Saturday: Owner Butch Carter tells us that if you bring by a bag of donated items for the Brumby Elementary School food pantry, you’ll get a voucher for an oil change.

The festivities go from 10-4 and include hamburgers and hot dogs and raffle prizes. Carter is involved in the Rotary Club of East Cobb, which does a lot of work in the Brumby ES community.

Earlier this month MUST Ministries opened the pantry, and Carter says the items needed the most are peanut butter, jelly, canned meats, beef stew, spaghetti noodles and sauce and granola or breakfast bars.

Bring a bag of some of those items to Honest-1 (1391 East Cobb Drive), and the oil change is yours.
