A diverse variety of businesses, which range from an auto service shop to a beauty department store to a barbeque restaurant, have opened recently in Gwinnett.
In other words, these are the kind of places that will make your life easier when those busy errand-running days pop up.
See below for a selection of businesses that have received ribbon-cutting ceremonies this month, according to the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce website.
Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill
Smokey Bones opened a 7,041-square-foot restaurant Aug. 15 in the Village at the Mall of Georgia, marking its fourth location in Georgia. The barbecue chain, which offers items including smoked wings and baby back ribs, occasionally gives away free bar food.
Nobody's Auto Service & Repair
On Aug. 17, Nobody's opened a new location less than a mile away from the original shop, which was established in downtown Lawrenceville in 1999. Despite what its name may imply, Nobody's in fact services all foreign and domestic makes and models, billing itself as a "one-stop honest auto repair shop."
Beauty Master
Beauty Master also bills itself as a one-stop shop, but instead of car parts, it's stocked with 30,000 "prestige and mass beauty products," such as hair extensions. The new Gwinnett Place Mall location opened Aug. 4.
Other new Gwinnett businesses listed on the Chamber of Commerce's website include: Virtual Beauty Esthetics & Makeup School, Vitality Med Spa, SelecSource Staffing, Dynemac, Inc. and Void Space Productions & Universe Soul Couture.
