Parkway Pointe shopping center IS adding a number of new tenants, just not all of those I originally reported.
Main Event will open their second Atlanta area location at the center. The bowling, video game, entertainment and bar complex will open in the former CRUNCH Fitness space and hopes to be open by mid-to-late November. The Dallas, Texas-based company opened their first Atlanta area location earlier this year in Alpharetta in a portion of the former Home Depot EXPO space.

Roam will open what will be their third overall location when they open at Parkway Pointe in the coming weeks. Roam is meant to be a place for entrepreneurs to meet, innovate and collaborate in a comfortable, yet professional environment. Roam's roughly 15,000 square foot space will be on the second level of the center, in a portion of the former Borders Books & Music space. Existing Roam locations are in Alpharetta and Dunwoody.
T. Mac, the new name of Taco Mac, plans to open its new restaurant in Parkway Pointe during the first week of November. The T. Mac at Parkway Pointe occupies a freestanding outparcel space previously home to Don Pablo's, A Mexican restaurant. T. Mac, seeking to expand its presence further outside of Atlanta, changed their name to better communicate to new markets they are not a taco restaurant. The renovated Decatur location already sports the new name and other Atlanta area locations will soon follow. The brand's website and facebook have also changed, as has the company's branding message, now, "Genuine Food & Craft Beer." (No word on whether one-time Hawks player Tracy McGrady, aka T-Mac, has been approached about his possible involvement.)
AMC Theaters Parkway Pointe 15 is currently undergoing extensive renovations that will nearly halve the overall capacity of the complex, but which will add premium seating. Plans call for the complex to be open in time for the holiday movie season, but I was unable to obtain a date or week. When completed, the theater will be similar to the recently renovated AMC Phipps Plaza 14 and the new AMC North Point Mall 12, with plush leather seating and an upgraded food and beverage program.
EarthFare, the new-to-market organic grocery store, and Newk's Eatery were both previously linked to be opening in the property, but seem to have since pulled out.
What new addition are you most excited about?
Do you think Taco Mac changing their name to T. Mac is a good idea?
Where would you like to see Earth Fare open in Smyrna / Vinings / Cumberland area?
