The problem with the recently closed Dough Bakery was that it's wasn't great food and the service was terrible. And to the above commenter, anyone can eat at a vegan restaurant, not just vegans. You don't have to eat meat and dairy at every meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-9281445309382127152015-07-09T18:13:47.189-04:002015-07-09T18:13:47.189-04:00Stopped by The Fresh Market today.

INSANE. <br /><br />And this is without the other new businesses open in the shopping center. When I pulled in, there were 11 cars deep at the new traffic light trying to get out. It was definitely a little daunting and a far cry from the quick parking at the formerly known Loehmann's Plaza.<br /><br />Regardless, I'm thrilled The Fresh Market is there.<br /><br /><br />Earth Fare had people handing out coupons as you park, walking to the store and once you get inside. LOL .... I went at lunch, and it was swamped with people getting salads, hot food and pizza. They have a $6 meal deal, which changes daily. That was cool. Plus, they offer an interesting variety of known food (e.g. Breyer's, Dole's) mixed with their own brand and boutique type brands. Saw Scoop Your Own Ravioli, which was really unique. Had 8 different kinds.<br /><br />Can't imagine I will go to Whole Foods again with these two options in the same area.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-66837982792612965502015-07-09T12:52:46.358-04:002015-07-09T12:52:46.358-04:00That new Ashley Furniture will be right next to th...That new Ashley Furniture will be right next to the relocated Rooms To Go, apparently. That's the parcel that once housed Razoos, and has been vacant for years. It was supposed to be a strip mall with a bunch of small restaurants, and then a fancy bowling alley.J Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729933968705442483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-14969418438415835782015-07-09T04:20:41.136-04:002015-07-09T04:20:41.136-04:00Agree, earth fare is far better than sprouts and e...Agree, earth fare is far better than sprouts and even far better than whole foods however on a different scale. The sandy springs whole foods is like a Kroger with a WF sign out front. Looking forward to the new whole foods at Johnson ferry and peach tree at the edge of Chamblee just a few stones from Brookhaven. I wonder if they will build their new smaller store concept with the newer value added price points.

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited my first one a couple of years ago. Looking forward to shopping there.

They were going to build a gas station in conjunction with a modernized and perhaps larger Kroger however the community applied severe pressure and voted it down.

Sadly, this is not going to be it. It is a very tough corner to begin with, and vegan based restaurant, with a limited submarket is an even tougher sell.

If memory serves there are several within just a few miles of the new location. I know nationally McDonald’s has announced that they would actually be reducing the number of overall locations.
