[EXCLUSIVE] Regions Bank Secures Space For Yet Another New Branch in East Cobb

A former Jiffy Lube in East Cobb has been sold and will be redeveloped.  The property, located at 4200 Roswell Road in an outparcel of the Whole Foods Market-anchored Merchants Walk shopping center, was recently demolished and is slated to reopen later this year as a new branch of Regions Bank.  Cobb County property records indicate that this past September, Birmingham-based Regions paid $2.2 million for the .75 acre site that was first developed in 1981.  

[EXCLUSIVE] Self Storage Facility Planned For Site of Former Theatre

A local developer plans to convert a former movie theater in  East Cobb into a new self storage facility.  A representative of Stein Investment Group (SIG) submitted plans to Cobb County that indicate the real estate firm wants to convert the existing 253,247 square foot former Park 12 Cinemas into a Climate Controlled Self Storage Facility (CCSSSF).

[EXCLUSIVE] Chick-fil-A-Backed Kefi is Closing in Buckhead

After nearly two years in business, Kefi is closing in Buckhead.  Backed by Chick-fil-A and described as a "modern family club," Kefi opened at the landmark Buckhead Triangle shopping center in August 2019.  The concept - toy store, coffee shop, co-working and daycare - all in one roughly 29,000 square foot "playtainment" space, was created by Red Wagon Ventures, an incubator funded by Chick-fil-A. Like Chick-fil-A, Kefi was closed on Sundays.  The concept seemed far-fetched from the start, and perhaps tried to be too much.
