Pretty Little Tacos
Michaela Merrick opened Pretty Little Tacos as a food truck in 2020. Since then, she’s expanded with food stalls inside Politan Row Colony Square and Politan Row Ashford Lane, plus a brick-and-mortar location in Reynoldstown that opened in February. Her fourth outpost in Roswell Junction will serve items like oxtail, chicken, steak and shrimp tacos.

Buena Papa Fry Bar
North Carolina couple James and Johanna Windon presented their idea for Buena Papa Fry Bar, which means “good potato” in Spanish, on the television show “Shark Tank.” Their pitch was a success, and this year, the Windons plan to open five franchise locations around the U.S., including an outpost in Halidom Eatery food hall that opened in May, as well as a forthcoming spot in the Southern Feed Store food hall in East Atlanta. Menu offerings include the Colombiana with fries, Colombian refried beans, chicharrones, Colombian chorizo, guacamole and pico de Gallo; and the Carolina with vinegar fries topped in pulled pork, coleslaw and barbecue sauce.
Cleaver and Company
Roswell Junction will be home to Cleaver and Company’s first location outside of Denver, Colorado. The food stall will offer a menu of burgers, Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and milkshakes.
Shawarma Shack
Shawarma Shack, also based in Denver, will serve a menu of Middle Eastern-inspired food including shawarma wraps, kabobs and bowls.
Across the Coast
This seafood stall comes from the team behind Deallo’s Seafood in the Halidom Eatery food hall. The menu will feature hot and cold lobster rolls with aioli and green onions served on a toasted roll; gumbo with shrimp and andouille sausage; shrimp and grits; and seafood nachos with shrimp, lobster, crawfish tails, tomatoes, onions and queso.
Flying Fish
Flying Fish, a sushi concept from the team behind MF Sushi, Kinjo Room and Yakitori Kona, will open its third location in the Roswell Junction food hall, joining stalls at Chattahoochee Food Works and Lenox Square. The menu will include poke bowls, ramen, bento boxes, hand rolls, nigiri sushi and sashimi.
Land of a Thousand Hills
This Roswell-based coffee shop and bakery will operate two separate stalls in Roswell Junction — one serving coffee and baked goods and the other serving sandwiches.
