I would've taken an Ingles over yet another Publix. Anyway, with a planned opening of spring 2017, it will be interesting to see if they get it finished before the economy collapses again. Now, if they'd just do something with that abandoned half framed site on Concord Rd. alienchowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958552549584707520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-4504370259560796072016-05-24T08:47:46.868-04:002016-05-24T08:47:46.868-04:00@John Payne - While there are Publi (my plural ver...@John Payne - While there are Publi (my plural version of Publix) everywhere, that area can use a Publix. Yes, a Whole Foods could've been cool, but supposedly a "Health Food Market" may be going in next to Home Depot HQ at the corner of Spring Hill Pkwy & Paces Ferry Road. I live walking distance from Smyrna Market Village and am thrilled to have that Publix coming in. Yes, there are 2 Publi both 3 miles away (Vinings & South Cobb Drive just North of Windy Hill) but in this part of town, 3 miles is a decent drive for a grocery store where many places there are grocery stores right across the street from each other. I predict this Publix will do very well and will pull customers from the Kroger at South Cobb and Concord. I do agree with you that I hope there are some good dining options. And while boring since it's another chain, I think a Starbucks would do gangbusters there.AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-256431651238054892016-05-23T16:12:36.327-04:002016-05-23T16:12:36.327-04:00Sigh...

Willy's is good... but there is a Moe's across the street. Hopefully some good dining options land in the rooftop spots. If not this will just be blah.J Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115524456337676438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-50917327330975906382016-05-23T14:38:22.101-04:002016-05-23T14:38:22.101-04:00I could not help but laugh out loud at this. Glad...I could not help but laugh out loud at this. Glad it's finally happening. It was always planned for a Publix but the housing back in 2007 was planned as senior living. I remember the former developers canvassing the market for a 95% equity investor at the time and my firm couldn't get on board. Back then you could drive around Smyrna and see PVC Pipe forests of abandoned townhome developments. Very clearly recall a wooden ramp leading up to a temporary sales center trailer...except the portable bldg was long gone and the ramp went to nothing but 5 ft tall weeds.SBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720093008576962982noreply@blogger.com
