Town Brookhaven Updates

The Sembler development of Town Brookhaven has been gaining momentum in the past few weeks. Ever since Costco opened last year in the back of the large mixed-use development off of Peachtree Road (near Oglethorpe University), Town Brookhaven has been making way for a new Publix, LA Fitness, Movie Theater, and numerous other small retailers and restaurants.

Currently only stores open are:

• Costco
• Slacks (Philly cheese restaurant)
• Noche (Spanish tapas bar, review coming soon!)
• Moes
• Bugaloo (women's clothing, photo above) 

There seems to be good construction progress on Publix (see photo), Marshalls, CineBistro, and LA Fitness. We've heard that the Marshalls and LA Fitness will be opening in May, while the Publix has a planned opening April 21st (updated!). This Publix will be one of the first of the company's Greenwise types- a grocery store with a focus on organic/local foods and products, similar to a Whole Foods or Fresh Market. 

Other stores and restaurants that are coming soon are:

• CineBistro (Dinner & Movie Theater)
• Flying Biscuit
• Olive Bistro
• Nail Talk & Tan
• Honeybutter Boutique
• Collage (jewelry, clothing, & decor)
• The Cup (a gourmet cupcake cafe-photo below, this looks like its opening soon, they are hiring!)

We are excited about all the new places coming to Brookhaven! I hope they are all on schedule for opening- I know there is still a lot of property and empty tenant spaces here, so we will keep you posted as new things develop. If you know of anything coming to Town Brookhaven- let us know!

Noche - Town Brookhaven

Noche will opening up in the new Town Brookhaven development on March 16th!  The Noche restaurant in Brookhaven will be the third location for them in Atlanta (already in Vinings and Va. Highlands) and is a part of Here To Serve's restaurant line-up including Twist, Shout, and Strip among others.  Noche serves up some great tapas, tacos and signature drinks - you can see their food menu here.  We've been to the Va. Highland location a number of times and it has become one of our staple stops when we are in the area.  

This will surely provide some great traffic to the Town Brookhaven development - only Slacks, Costco & Moe's are open right now.  They will be open late night and offer great drink specials so make sure you follow them on twitter @NocheBrookhaven.  Were very excited about the new addition to Brookhaven who is screaming for new, updated restaurants.  Hope to see you in there on March 16th!
