Flood Update

A few more of the businesses that were affected by last year’s flooding have reopened. Best Dang Bakery has reopened after renovations that expanded its shop. Firehouse Subs and Leslie’s Pool and Spa in the shopping center next to QuikTrip are open. As of our press day, Moe’s is still under renovation with plans to reopen soon and Dunkin Donuts is being remodeled with plans to open in January. Sadly, Artuzzi’s has decided that it will not be reopening. If you still crave Artuzzi’s bow tie pasta with Rosetti sauce or Donna Rosa pizza, the nearest locations are at Windward Plaza, Alpharetta Highway, and Howell Mill Road. They will be missed!

The downtown merchants in Woodstock have designed their own t-shirt! It is currently for sale at the Woodstock visitor’s center for $15.
