It is rare to see two retail outlets rise almost simultaneously in the same community but Cartersville has a rate case of double vision thanks to the growth of the CVS pharmacy chain. The new store on the west side, near Ga. 113 and Douthit Ferry Road, opens Jan. 24. The above image shows the almost-ready store in front of Collins Pointe on U.S. 41 near Cartersville Medical Center.
-Amid restaurant downturn, Sweat Market growing again: Downtown Cartersville's popular sandwich and soup shop, Sweat Market deli at 5 E. Main St., opened for night service last Oct. 19. Now, in addition to dinner specials Monday through Saturday, the business has applied for a beer and wine sales permit. Sweat Market continues to evolve even as several other restaurants in the downtown corridor have closed. Our advice: Try the stacked chicken sausage sandwich.
-Riverside Parkway/Bypass corridor finally sizzles: With State Mutual Stadium about to host its eighth season as home of the Rome Braves, the surrounding acres are finally seeing development. For years, it was the stadium and Fuddruckers. Now Bella Rome Grill is open, Riverside Professional Park is welcoming new clients, another 50-plus acres is about to be offered for sale and the Armuchee Connector has help spark new interest in The Boulevard project. the home of the Rome Braves> The Buzz
