‘Old-school but upscale bodega’ to open July, 2012.
UPDATE (Oct. 15, 2012): Mamanoes brown bags its things, vanishes
Entrepernuer Antonio Boyd is bringing his small Downtown Birmingham grocery store to Atlanta.
Boyd will open his second Mamanoes Grocery Shop, at 10th and Peachtree Streets, this July, according to The Birmingham News.
Boyd first opened his “old-school but upscale bodega” Downtown Birmingham just two years ago, in 2010, the report notes.
“The Atlanta location is in a more monied neighborhood,” Boyd told The Birmingham News. “There are plenty of office towers and high-end condos within blocks. The Loews Atlanta Hotel and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are nearby.”
Boyd said he’d like to open 50 to 100 grocery stores eventually.
Antonio Boyd was not immediately available for comment. For more details, read the rest of The Birmingham News’ report here.
