New Publix to open Thursday on Hwy. 20
From staff reports
For months, work crews
have been putting the finishing
touches on the new Publix
store on Hwy. 20 at Samples
Road.
At 7 a.m. on Thursday, the
44,000-square-foot store will
open in the new, 18-acre retail
center that has been named
Cruse Marketplace.
It is the fourth Publix to
open in Forsyth County. The
other three are in Tri-County
Plaza, in the Midway area off
Hwy. 9 and in Johns Creek off
Hwy. 141. Given the county’s
growth, the choice to add a
fourth store was a logical one,
according to Publix officials.
“We’re trying to keep up
with the growth, and Forsyth
County is the fastest growing
county in the state in terms of
population,” said Publix
spokeswoman Janet Reid.
The service area for the
grocery store and shopping
center has 13,000 residents,
with 6,000 more expected to
move there in the next 10
years.
The site is also near the
massive Windermere and
Chattahoochee River Club res
idential communities.
The store will have about
150 employees. In addition to
the new hires will be employ
ees transferring from other
Publix locations.
The new store’s manager is
Darren Toothaker, who has
been promoted from his for
mer position as assistant store
manager at the Johns Creek
Publix.
On Saturday, Nov. 23,
Sudsy night earns a stint in custody
By Steven H. Pollak
Staff Writer
Two men indulging in
some ‘suds’ at a Cumming
laundromat wound up getting
arrested Friday night for pub
lic drunkenness as well as
aggravated assault and sexual
battery.
Lawrence Fay Sites Jr., 43,
of Dawsonville, and James
Edward Kirby, 36, of
Cumming, went to the
Cumming Sunshine Center on
Veterans Memorial Boulevard
and allegedly began drinking.
The laundromat does not
serve alcohol; Sites and Kirby
apparently brought their own.
According to Capt. Frank
Goss of the Cumming Police
Department, Sites grabbed the
buttocks of a woman who was
cleaning clothes with her hus
band.
The husband and Sites
began fighting in the laundro
mat, Goss said.
In the midst of the fight,
Kirby allegedly pulled out a
pocket knife and cut the hus
band on his right arm.

The new Publix grocery store prepares for Thursday morning’s opening with shelves : ■
full of food. The new store is in Cruse Marketplace at Buford and Samples roads.
Cruse Marketplace will have a
grand opening from 11 a.m. to
1 p.m. Mashburn Elementary
School’s student choir will
perform, and the public is
invited to a cookout, said
Toothaker, who is a local resi
dent.
The developer for the new
store was Roswell-based
North American Properties
Ltd., which has worked with
Publix in the metro Atlanta
area.
The store was designed
and built with distinct archi
tectural styles as the result of
input from Publix and the
community during the rezon
ing regulatory process.

dromat, but
