East Cobb Biz Notes: Ming’s Asian Kitchen coming soon; what’s new at The Avenue; Walmart grocery closing on Canton Road

Ming's Asian Kitchen, East Cobb biz notes

We’ve heard from readers about the forthcoming Ming’s Asian Kitchen, and passed by the other day and saw this sign out front.

Ming’s will be located in the former Niecy’s Cafe space (4665 Lower Roswell Road, at Woodlawn Drive), which has been the site of a number of restaurants in recent years. Niecy’s opened in 2015 but closed earlier this year.

There’s no other readily available information yet about when Ming’s is slated to open, but we’ll post that here when we get more details.

In other East Cobb business news, there are two new food spots coming or have opened at The Avenue East Cobb (in addition to the Stockyard Burgers & Bones slated for next spring):

  • WhatNowAtlanta is reporting that Smallcakes, which once was open on Roswell Road at East Piedmont Road, will be opening soon at The Avenue (4475 Roswell Road), and will be located next to the Hand & Stone store;
  • Kale Me Crazy, a Atlanta-based chain of healthy food cafes and juice shops, got its business license last week and is open at The Avenue. The menu features salads, wraps, toasts (yes, avocado!) and açaí bowls, and the store sells a full line of juice-based “cleansing packages” and does catering. Hours are Monday-Friday 7 a.m.-8:30 pm; Saturday 9 a.m.-8 p.m; Sunday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.;
  • This is the last week of business at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, 3372 Canton Road, in the Blackwell Square Shopping Center, after it was announced last month that the store is closing on Dec. 4. It’s the second Walmart grocery to leave the East Cobb area this year; the Sandy Plains Village location closed in March. The only such store remaining close by is at 3101 Roswell Road, in the Olde Mill Shopping Center.

The following new businesses were granted licenses by the Cobb Community Development Department in the last week:

  • Agape Remodeling, 2694 Lower Roswell Road (handyman);
  • Healthy Smoothies, 2550 Sandy Plains Road (health food store);
  • Heyward Accounting, 3837 Courson Street (accounting services);
  • Perks Coffee, 3000 Windy Hill Road, Suite 176 (restaurant);
  • Siding Pro, 2100 Wood Court (Siding contractor).
